Detailed Solution

Let the point of intersection of tangents be Px1,y1,

Then the equation of pair of tangents from Px1,y1 to the 

given hyperbola is 4x29y2364x129y1236=4x1x9y1y362                                         ….(i)

From SS1=T2 

or x2y12+4+2x1y1xy+y2x129+=0      (ii)

Since angle between the tangents π/4,

 tan (π/4)=2x12y12y12+4x129y12+4+x129

Hence locus of Px1,y1 is x2+y252=49y24x2+36.
