MCQ
If the line $y = 2x + \lambda $ be a tangent to the hyperbola $36{x^2} - 25{y^2} = 3600$, then $\lambda = $
  • A
    $16$
  • B
    $-16$
  • $ \pm 16$
  • D
    None of these

Answer

Correct option: C.
$ \pm 16$
c
(c) If $y = 2x + \lambda $ is tangent to given hyperabola,

then $\lambda = \pm \sqrt {{a^2}{m^2} - {b^2}} = \pm \sqrt {(100)\,(4) - 144}$

$= \pm \sqrt {256} = \pm 16$.
