If 2x-y+1=0,  is a tangent to the hyperbola x2a2y216=1  , then which of the following CANNOT be sides of a right angled triangle?


A) a.4,1

B) 2a,4,1

C) a,4,2

D) 2a,8,1

Answer:

Option A,B,C

Explanation:

Tangent=2x-y+1=0

Hyperbola= x2a2y216=1

It point = (asecθ,4tanθ)

tangent=xsecθaytanθ4=1

  On comparing we get,

secθ=2a

tanθ=4

    4a216=1

        a=172

  Subsuitute the value of a in option (a).(b), (c)and (d)
