What will be equation of that chord of hyperbola 25x2−16y2=400, whose mid point is (5, 3)
A
115x−117y=17
B
125x−48y=481
C
127x+33y=341
D
15x+121y=105
Answer
125x−48y=481
Explanation
Solution
According to question, xy=c2/2Equation of required chord is S1=T ......(i)
Here S1=25(5)2−16(3)2−400 = 625−144−400=81 and T=25xx1−16yy1−400, where x1=5, t=t3t2−t4t′+t′
⇒25x(5)−16y(3)−400=125x−48y−400So, from (i)
required chord is 125x−48y−400=81 ⇒ 125x−48y=481
