        The equation of the chord joining two points \[({{x}_{1}},{{y}_{2}})\]and\[({{x}_{2}},{{y}_{2}})\]on the rectangular hyperbola\[xy={{c}^{2}}\]is:

    A)  \[\frac{x}{{{x}_{1}}+{{x}_{2}}}+\frac{y}{{{y}_{1}}+{{y}_{2}}}=1\]

    B)  \[\frac{x}{{{x}_{1}}-{{x}_{2}}}+\frac{y}{{{y}_{1}}-{{y}_{2}}}=1\]

    C)  \[\frac{x}{{{y}_{1}}+{{y}_{2}}}+\frac{y}{{{x}_{1}}+{{x}_{2}}}=1\]

    D)  \[\frac{x}{{{y}_{1}}-{{y}_{2}}}+\frac{y}{{{x}_{1}}-{{x}_{2}}}=1\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                    The   mid-point   of   the   chord   is\[\left( \frac{{{x}_{1}}+{{x}_{2}}}{2},\frac{{{y}_{1}}+{{y}_{2}}}{2} \right)\]. The equation of the chord in terms of its mid-point is \[T=S\] Or           \[x\left( \frac{{{y}_{1}}+{{y}_{2}}}{2} \right)+y\left( \frac{{{x}_{1}}+{{x}_{2}}}{2} \right)\]                 \[=2\left( \frac{{{x}_{1}}+{{x}_{2}}}{2} \right)\left( \frac{{{y}_{1}}+{{y}_{2}}}{2} \right)\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[x({{y}_{1}}+{{y}_{2}})+y({{x}_{1}}+{{x}_{2}})=({{x}_{1}}+{{x}_{2}})({{y}_{1}}+{{y}_{2}})\]                 \[\frac{x}{{{x}_{1}}+{{x}_{2}}}+\frac{y}{{{y}_{1}}+{{y}_{2}}}=1\]
