Detailed Solution

For hyperbola  x2 9y216= 1   to have two distinct tangents on different branches  the point should lie in the region  R1 and  R3  So from ( α , 2 )  two tangents can be drawn  if it lies in between  A  and  B  [where  A  and  B  are point of intersection asymptotes with  y = 2 Equation of pair of assymptotes isx2 9y216=0 (x3-y4)(x3+y4) (4x-3y)(4x+3y)=0 

Equation of asymptotes are 4x=±3y.

Solving with y=2, we have x=±32Question Image
