The equation of the curve in which the portion of the tangent included between the coordinate axes is bisected at the point of contact, is

  • a parabola

  • an ellipse

  • a circle

  • a hyperbola


D.

a hyperbola

The equation of the tangent at any point P(x, y) is

Y - y = dydxX - x

This cuts the coordinate axes at

Ax - ydxdy, 0 and B0, y - xdydx

It is given that P(x, y) is the mid point of AB.

   x - ydxdy = 2x and y - xdydx = 2y   x + ydxdy = 0 and y + xdydx = 0 xdy + ydx = 0 and ydx + xdy = 0         dxy = 0             xy = C

Clearly, it represents a rectangular hyperbola.
