    The locus of the point of intersection of the lines  \[x\,cot\,\theta +y\,cosec\,\theta \text{=}2\]and \[x\,cosec\,\theta +y\,cot\,\theta =6\]is

    A)  a straight line  

    B)  circle

    C)  a hyperbola    

    D)  an ellipse

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Given equations are \[x\,\,\cot \,\theta +y\,\text{cosec }\theta \text{=2}\]         ...(i) and    \[\text{x cosec }\theta +y\,\,\cot \,\theta =6\]        ...(ii) On squaring and subtracting Eq. (i) from Eq. (ii), we get \[{{x}^{2}}(\text{cose}{{\text{c}}^{2}}\theta -{{\cot }^{2}}\theta )+{{y}^{2}}({{\cot }^{2}}\theta -\text{cose}{{\text{c}}^{2}}\theta )\] \[={{(6)}^{2}}-{{(2)}^{2}}\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[{{x}^{2}}-{{y}^{2}}=32\] It represents an equation of hyperbola.
