Questions  

H1:xy=c2 and H2:xy=k2 are two different hyperbolas. From a point on H1, tangents are drawn to H2.Area of the triangle formed by the chord of contact and the asymptote to H2 is 

a
k2c2
b
k4c2
c
2k4c2
d
none of these

detailed solution

Correct option is C

Equation of the chord of contact from ct,ct on H1  to H2 is (ct)x+cty=2k2. Asymptote of H2 are x = 0 and y = 0 and the chord meetsthese asymptotes at A 2k2ct,0 and B0,2k2tcArea of the required triangle is 122k2ct2k2tc=2k4c2
