Detailed Solution

Given hyperbola xy=4 

Equation of tangent at P(t) is x+yt24t=0

x4t+y4t=1

It cuts coordinate axes at A(4t,0); B0,4t

Let x1,y1 be the circum centre of OAB ,

x1,y1 is mid point of AB

 x1,y1=2t,2t 

x1=2t,y1=2t

By  eliminating t

we get x1y1=4

locus is xy=4  which is rectangular hyperbola,

copare with xy=c2  c2=4

Now  L. L. R=22c=22(2)=42
