Detailed Solution

Equation of the normal at (asec θ, atan θ) to the hyperbola x2y2=a2 is

axsec θ+aytan θ=a2+a2=2a2                                                    (1)

Let (h, k) be the middle point of this normal then its equation is

hxkya2=h2k2a2 T=S1

 hxky=h2k                                         (2)

Comparing (1) and (2) we get

hsecθ=ktanθ=h2k22a secθ=h2k22ah,tanθ=h2k22ak So  1=sec2 θtan2 θ=h2k224a21h21k2 h2k23+4a2h2k2=0 Locus of (h, k) is y2x23=4a2x2y2
