Detailed Solution

We have, 4y2=x2+1                      …(i)

The tangent to (i) at x1,y1 is given by 4yy1=xx1+1

According to question, A 1x1,0,B0,14y1

Let mid point of AB be M(h, k).

Then, 1x1=2hx1=12h and 14y1=2ky1=18k

 x1,y1 lies on (i)

 418k2=12h2+14×164k2=14h2+1 116k2=14h2+1h2=4k2+16h2k2

        Locus of mid point of AB is

x2=4y2+16x2y2 or x24y216x2y2=0
