                    A common tangent to the conics and \[2{{x}^{2}}-4{{y}^{2}}=9\]is :     JEE Main Online Paper ( Held On 25  April 2013 )

    A)                 \[x-y=\frac{3}{2}\]          

    B)                                        \[x+y=1\]

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

    D)                                        \[x-y=1\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                    \[{{x}^{2}}-6y\]                                                 ?(i) \[2{{x}^{2}}-4{{y}^{2}}=9\]Consider the line, \[x-y=\frac{3}{2}\] On solving (i) and (iii), we get only\[x=3,y=\frac{3}{2}\] Hence \[\left( 3,\frac{3}{2} \right)\] is the point of contact of conic (i), and line (iii) On solving (ii) and (iii), we get only x = 3,\[y=\frac{3}{2}\] Hence \[\left( 3,\frac{3}{2} \right)\]is also the point of contact of conic (ii) and line (iii). Hence line (iii) is the common tangent to both the given conies.
