The correct answer is:
CHECK THE SOLUTION.

11x 2 – y 2 – 16xy –16x + 38y – 41 = 0

Sol. Let equation of directrix be y = 2 x + C ......(i)

 (1) passes through centre (2, 3) of the circle

⇒ C = – 1

∴ (i) reduces to y = 2 x – 1

∴ equation of required hyperbola will be

= 2

which reduces to ⇒ 11x 2 – y 2 – 16xy –16x + 38y – 41 = 0
