Detailed Solution

Equation of the hyperbola be x2a2y2b2=1 so equation of the conjugate hyperbola is  x2a2y2b2=1

Equation of a diameter of the hyperbola is y=b2/a2mx which meets the hyperbola at points given by

x2a2b4x2b2a4m2=1x2=a2m2m2b2

These points are real if m2>b2 and for this value of m, the diameter will meet the conjugate hyperbola at  point for which x2=a2m2m2b2 and these points are  imaginary.

Note: Conjugate diameter will meet the conjugate hyperbola in real points and the hyperbola in imaginary points
