Question

Tangent are drawn from any point on the hyperbola  to the circle x2 + y2 = 9. If the locus of the mid-point of the chord of contact is

  

Solution

Correct option is

7873

Equation of the chord of contact of a point  on the hyperbola is with respect to the circle is

                  … (1)

Let M(h, k) be the mid-point of (1), then equation of (1) in terms of the mid-point is

      hx + ky = h2 + k2

Since (1) and (2) represent the same line.

      

 Locus of (h, k) is

    

or  4(x2 + y2)2 = 36x2 – 81y2

which is same as a(x2 + y2)2 = bx2 – cy2

 = 4, b = 36, c = 81

     a2 + b2 + c2 = 16 + 1296 + 6561 = 7873.
