Detailed Solution

 Let y=(mx+c) is tangent to x2=6ysolve the above equations x2=6(mx+c) So, x26mx6c=0 Put D=b24ac=0c=32m2 we get y=mx32m2.(1)

 And given hyperbola equation is 2x24y2=9x292y294=1.(2)

 Since, equation (1) is a tangent of equation (2) then c2=a2m2b2

94m4=92m294m4=2m21m42m2+1=0m212=0m=±1 for m=1 , equation of tangent is xy=32

Therefore, the correct answer is (D).
