The locus of the mid points of the chords of the hyperbola x2 −- y2 = 4, which touch the parabola y2 = 8x, is :

Multiple Choice Options

  • A y3(x −- 2) = x2
  • B x3(x −- 2) = y2
  • C y2(x −- 2) = x3
  • D x2(x −- 2) = y3

Step-by-Step Verified Solution

T = S1

xh −- yk = h2 −- k2

y=xhk−(h2−k2)ky = {{xh} \over k} - {{({h^2} - {k^2})} \over k}

this touches y2 = 8x then c=amc = {a \over m}

(k2−h2k)=2kh\left( {{{{k^2} - {h^2}} \over k}} \right) = {{2k} \over h}

2y2 = x(y2 −- x2)

y2(x −- 2) = x3
