Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
D
Let 
be a point on the hyperbola 
, then 
The chord of contact of tangent from P to the hyperbola 
is 
.....(i)
The equation of asymptotes are 
= 0 ......(ii)
And 
= 0 ....(iii)
The point of intersection of the asymptotes and chord are 
, (0, 0)
Area of triangle = 
=
