The point P(−26,3)P ( - 2\sqrt{6}, \sqrt{3} ) lies on the hyperbola x2a2−y2b2=1\dfrac{{x}^{2}}{{a}^{2}} - \dfrac{{y}^{2}}{{b}^{2}} = 1 having eccentricity 52.\dfrac{\sqrt{5}}{2} . If the tangent and normal at PP to the hyperbola intersect its conjugate axis at the points QQ and RR respectively, then QRQR is equal to:

Options

  1. A434\sqrt{3}
  2. B66
  3. C363\sqrt{6}
  4. D636\sqrt{3}

Correct answer

D. 636\sqrt{3}

Step-by-step solution

As point P(−26,3)P ( - 2\sqrt{6}, \sqrt{3} ) lies on hyperbola.
24a2−3b2=1...(1)\dfrac{24}{{a}^{2}} - \dfrac{3}{{b}^{2}} = 1 . . . \left(1\right)

Given, eccentricity e=52e = \dfrac{\sqrt{5}}{2}

⇒e=a2+b2a2=52⇒ e = \sqrt{\dfrac{{a}^{2} + {b}^{2}}{{a}^{2}}} = \dfrac{\sqrt{5}}{2}

⇒4a2+4b2=5a2⇒ 4{a}^{2} + 4{b}^{2} = 5{a}^{2}
