    A common tangent to the conies \[{{x}^{2}}=6y\] and \[2{{x}^{2}}-4{{y}^{2}}=9\],is

    A)  \[x+y=1\]                          

    B)  \[x-y=1\]

    C)  \[x+y=\frac{9}{2}\]                        

    D)  \[x-y=\frac{3}{2}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Let \[y=(mx+c)\] is tangent to\[{{x}^{4}}=6y\]                 So, \[{{x}^{2}}-6mx-6c=0\] Put disc = 0 \[\Rightarrow c=\frac{-3}{2}{{m}^{2}}\] \[\therefore \] we get\[y=mx-\frac{3}{2}{{m}^{2}}\]                 Also, \[\frac{{{x}^{2}}}{9/2}-\frac{{{y}^{2}}}{9/4}=1\]                 So, using condition of tangency, we get \[\frac{9}{4}{{m}^{4}}=\frac{9}{2}{{m}^{2}}-\frac{9}{4}\] \[\Rightarrow \]\[{{m}^{4}}=2{{m}^{2}}-1\Rightarrow {{m}^{4}}-2{{m}^{2}}+1=0\] \[{{({{m}^{2}}-1)}^{2}}=0\Rightarrow m=\pm 1\] \[\therefore \]For\[m=1\], we get\[x-y=\frac{3}{2}\]
