Detailed Solution

Given hyperbola x21-y22=1 a2=1, b2=2 Eeuation of normal at A(secθ, 2tanθ) is  xsecθ+2ytanθ=3 x cosθ+2y cotθ=3       Equation of normal at (secθ, 2 tanθ) is  xsecθ+ ytanθ=3  x cosθ+2y cotθ=3 x sinθ+2y tanθ=3        =π2-θ  × sinθ- × cosθ  2 y(cosθ-sinθ)=3(sinθ-cosθ)                                         y=-32      It (α, β) is P.I of  &  then β=-32 Now (2β)2=4×92=18
