Detailed Solution

Given hyperbola x29-y24=1 let P=(3secθ, 2tanθ) be any point on given hyperbola  Now chord of contact of 'P' w.r. to the circle x2+y2=9  is x(3secθ)+y(2tanθ)=9   3x secθ+2y tanθ=9       let (x1, y1) be mid point of chord of contact then equation of chord in mid point form is  xx1+yy1=x12+y12       since  &  represents same line then  3secθx1=2tanθy1=9x12+y12  secθ=9x13(x12+y12), tanθ=9y12(x12+y12)

Since sec2θ-tan2θ=1 81x129(x12+y12)-81y1424(x12+y12)=1 81(x12+y12)x129-y124=1  locus is x29-y24=(x2+y2)281 4x2-9y2=36(x2+y2)281 4x2-9y2=49(x2+y2)  36x2-81y2=4(x2+y2)2  By comparision a=4, b=36, c=81                           a2+b2+c2=96+1296+6561                                              =7873
