Detailed Solution

Let midpoint of chord be  (h,k) 
Equation of chord:  T=S1
 xh+yk=2hk
This chord passes through the focus of  xy=2
Which is  (2,2)   or  (2,2)
hk=h+k   or  hk=hk
xyxy=0  or  xy+x+y=0
 (x1)(y1)=1  or  (x+1)(y+1)=1
This is a rectangular hyperbola whose latus rectum is  22C  where c=1
 λ=22λ2=8
