Detailed Solution

The equation of tangent at P(x,y) is xx1a2yy1b2=1
It passes through (0,b), so 0+y1b=1      y1=b
Also, equation of normal at P(x1,y1) is a2xx1+b2yy1=a2e2
It passes through (22a,0),so a2(22a)x1=a2e2   x1=22ae2
So,P(x1=22ae2,y1=b)
As P(x1,y1)lies on the hyperbola x2a2y2b2=1,so 8a2e4a2b2b2=1
8e4=2   e4=4e2=2
