Options
- A
- B2
- C
- D3
Correct answer
B. 2
Step-by-step solution
The line is a tangent to the hyperbola and also passes through the point of intersection of directrix and the positive -axis Equation of direction Point passes through We know, Equation of tangent of is \Rightarrow \quad 4 a²-b²=1 From Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get
