    The line\[y=mx+c\]touches the curve\[\frac{{{x}^{2}}}{{{a}^{2}}}+\frac{{{y}^{2}}}{{{b}^{2}}}=1,\]if:

    A)  \[{{c}^{2}}={{a}^{2}}{{m}^{2}}+{{b}^{2}}\]          

    B)         \[{{c}^{2}}={{a}^{2}}{{m}^{2}}-{{b}^{2}}\]

    C)         \[{{c}^{2}}={{b}^{2}}{{m}^{2}}-{{a}^{2}}\]           

    D)        \[{{a}^{2}}={{b}^{2}}{{m}^{2}}+{{c}^{2}}\]

    E)         none of these

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    The line\[y=mx+c\]touches the hyperbola\[\frac{{{x}^{2}}}{{{a}^{2}}}-\frac{{{y}^{2}}}{{{b}^{2}}}=1,\]if \[{{c}^{2}}={{a}^{2}}{{m}^{2}}-{{b}^{2}}.\]
