Detailed Solution

Given hyperbola is x24−y212=1 Here a2=4,b2=12 Eccentricity, e=a2+b2a2=2P= end point of latusrectum ae,b2a=(4,6) Equation of tangent at P is S1=0⇒2x−y=2 it cuts x axis ⇒y=o ⇒x=1 It meets tranverse axis at T 1,0equation of normal at P 4,6 is a2 xx1+b2 yy1=a2+b2⇒4x4+12 y6=16    ⇒x+2y=16    it cuts  x-axis then y=0 ,hence x=16      ⇒  G=16,0∴ Area of ΔPTG=12x1−x2x1−x3y1−y2y1−y3 =124−14−166−06−0=45 sq.units
