Questions  

The asymptotes of xy = hx + ky are 

 

a
x = h, y = k
b
x = –h, y = –k
c
x = k, y = h
d
x = –k, y = –h

detailed solution

Correct option is C

Equation of the asymptotes differ from the equation of the hyperbola by a constant so the equation of the asymptotes is xy−hx−ky+λ=0 which represents a  pair of lines if λ=hk and the required asymptotes are x=k and y=h.
