If a hyperbola passes through the point P 10 ,   16 , and it has vertices at ± 6 ,   0 , then the equation of the normal to it at P , is.
Options
- A3 x + 4 y = 94
- B2 x + 5 y = 100
- Cx + 2 y = 42
- Dx + 3 y = 58
Correct answer
B. 2 x + 5 y = 100
Step-by-step solution
Let the equation of hyperbola is x 2 a 2 - y 2 b 2 = 1 . As, vertex is at ± 6 , 0 , and it passes through 10 ,   16 , So, the equation of hyperbola is x 2 36 - y 2 144 = 1 . Equation of normal to the hyperbola at x 1 ,   y 1 is a 2 x x 1 + b 2 y y 1 = a 2 + b 2 Thus, on putting values, equation of normal is 2 x + 5 y = 100 .
