Detailed Solution

let P=(3secθ, 2tanθ) be any point on given hyperbola Now  equation of  tangent of P w.r. to x2+y2=9 is 3x secθ+2y tanθ=9       let (x1, y1) be mid point of chord of contact then equation of chord is xx1+yy1=x12+y12   -   Since  &  represents same line then. 3secθx1=2tanθy1=9x12+y12   secθ=9x13(x12+y12) and  tanθ=9y12(x12+y12) sec2θ-tan2θ=1 then 81x129(x12+ y12)2-81y124(x12+ y12)2=1 x129-y124=(x12+y12)812 locus is 36x2-81y2=4(x2+y2)2 By comparision a=4, b=36, c=81 Now a2+b2+c2=7873
