A ray emanating from the point (5, 0) is incident on the hyperbola 
at the point P with abscissa 8; then the equation of reflected ray after first reflection is (Point P lies in first quadrant)
A
B
C
D
None of these
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
A
Given hyperbola is 
. This equation can be rewritten as 
.....(i)
Since x coordinate of P is 8. Let y -coordinate of P is 
lies on (i)
; 
P lies in first quadrant)
Hence coordinate of point P is 
Equation of reflected ray passing through 
and 
); ∴ ∴ Its equation is 
or 
or
