Question

 

Find the range of ‘a’ for which two perpendicular tangents can be drawn to the hyperbola from any point outside the hyperbola

.

Solution

Correct option is

 

We know that the locus of the point where perpendicular tangents of the hyperbola meet, is called director circle of the hyperbola and the equation of which is given by  

                         x2 + y2 = a2 – b2                                (1)

any point will satisfy equation (1) only when
