 Tangents are drawn to the parabola (x3)2+(x+4)2=(3x4y6)225 at the extremities of the chord 2x3y-18=0

 Then the angle between the tangents is 

a
90o
b
45o
c
60o
d
30o

detailed solution

Correct option is A

The given chord 2x−3y−18=0 satisfies the point (3,−4) which is the focus of the given parabola. Hence, it is a  focal chord and the tangents at extremities are perpendicular.
