A line parallel to the y-axis intersects the hyperbola 
= 1 and its conjugate hyperbola at P and Q respectively. Then the normals at P and Q to the respective curves meet on -
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
B
Let the line parallel to y-axis is x = α , then points are p ≡ 
and Q = 
.
Equation of normals are y – 
= 
(x – α ) and
y – 
= 
(x – α )
Now putting y = 0 in both the normal we get
x = 
α .
So, they intersect on x-axis. Hence is correct answer.
