Detailed Solution

x2+α2y2=α2

Equation of tangent is xcosθα+sinθy=1
Tangent intersects the hyperbola at A and B such that ACB=π2  
Where C is centre of hyperbola

 α2x2y2=1(1)2
 α2x2y2=(xcosθα+sinθy)2

x2(α2cos2θα2)+y2(1sin2θ)2xycosθsinθα=0 ___ (1)
(1) represents of equation of pair of lines OA and OB
Coefficient of x2+ coefficient of y2=0
1cos2θα2+α2sin2θ=0 
α2=1+sin2θ±5+sin4θ2sin2θ2=α2[5+12,2]
