Q47 / 90 · JEE Main 2023 (01 Feb Shift 2) · Mathematics

Let Px0,y0 be the point on the hyperbola 3x2-4y2=36, which is nearest to the line 3x+2y=1. Then 2y0-x0 is equal to :

  • A
    -3
  • B
    9
  • Correct answer
    C
    -9
  • D
    3

Solution

Given,

Equation of hyperbola, 3x2-4y2=36

And nearest line 3x+2y=1

Now slope of the given line will be, m=-32

Now slope of tangent which will be parallel to given line of hyperbola 3x2-4y2=36 is given by,

m=3secθ12·tanθ

Now putting the value of m=-32 we get,

⇒312×1sinθ=-32

⇒sinθ=-13

So, point will be 12secθ,3tanθ

=12·32,-3×12

=62,-32,

Hence, 2y0-x0=2-32-62=-9

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
