From a point on the line x−y+2=0x - y + 2 = 0 tangents are drawn to the hyperbola x26−y22=1\dfrac{x^{2}}{6} - \dfrac{y^{2}}{2} = 1 such that the chord of contact passes through a fixed point \left(\lambda, \mu\right).Then, . Then,~\mu - \lambda is equal to

Correct answer

A. 22

Step-by-step solution

Let the point be (α,β)⇒β=α+2\left(\alpha, \beta\right) ⇒ \beta = \alpha + 2
Chord of contact of the hyperbola is T=0T = 0
⇒\alphax6−\betay2=1⇒ \dfrac{\alphax}{6} - \dfrac{\betay}{2} = 1
⇒\alphax6−(α+2)y2=1⇒ \dfrac{\alphax}{6} - \dfrac{\left(\alpha + 2\right)y}{2} = 1
⇒α(x6−y2)−(2y2+1)=0⇒ \alpha\left(\dfrac{x}{6} - \dfrac{y}{2}\right) - \left(\dfrac{2y}{2} +1\right) = 0
Since, this passes through the fixed point \left(\lambda, \mu\right)<br/><br />∴ \dfrac{\lambda}{6} - \dfrac{\mu}{2} =0 and 2μ2+1=0\dfrac{2\mu}{2} +1 = 0

So, μ=−1\mu = - 1 and λ=−3\lambda = - 3
⇒μ−λ=2⇒ \mu - \lambda = 2
