    If the coordinates of four concyclie points on the rectangular hyperbola \[xy={{c}^{2}}\] are \[(c{{t}_{i}},\,\,c/{{t}_{i}}),i=1,\,\,2,\,\,3,\,\,4\] then

    A) \[{{t}_{1}}{{t}_{2}}{{t}_{3}}{{t}_{4}}=-1\]

    B) \[{{t}_{1}}{{t}_{2}}{{t}_{3}}{{t}_{4}}=1\]

    C) \[{{t}_{1}}{{t}_{3}}={{t}_{2}}{{t}_{4}}\]

    D) \[{{t}_{1}}+{{t}_{2}}+{{t}_{3}}+{{t}_{4}}={{c}^{2}}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    [b] Let the points lie on the circle \[{{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}+2gx+2fy+2fy+k=0,\] Then \[{{c}^{2}}t_{i}^{2}+\frac{{{c}^{2}}}{t_{i}^{2}}+2ge{{t}_{i}}+2f\frac{c}{{{t}_{i}}}+k=0\] \[\Rightarrow {{c}^{2}}t_{i}^{4}+2gct_{i}^{3}+kt_{i}^{3}+2fc{{t}_{i}}+{{c}^{2}}=0\] Its roots are \[{{t}_{1}},{{t}_{2}},{{t}_{3}},{{t}_{4}}\] so \[{{t}_{1}}{{t}_{2}}{{t}_{3}}{{t}_{4}}=\frac{{{c}^{2}}}{{{c}^{2}}}=1\] Also, \[{{t}_{1}}+{{t}_{2}}+{{t}_{3}}+{{t}_{4}}=-\frac{2gc}{{{c}^{2}}}=-\frac{2g}{c}\]
