If the equation of the tangent drawn at $(h, k)$ to the hyperbola $\frac{(\mathrm{x}-1)^2}{1}-\frac{(\mathrm{y}-2)^2}{2}=1$ is $\mathrm{x}=2$, then $\mathrm{h}+\mathrm{k}=$
  1. $0$
  2. $4$
  3. $-4$
  4. $1$

Solution

Given equation of hyperbola is $\begin{aligned} & \frac{(x-1)^2}{1}-\frac{(y-2)^2}{2}=1 ... (i)\\ & \Rightarrow 2(x-1)-(y-2) \frac{d y}{d x}=0 \Rightarrow \frac{d y}{d x}=\frac{2(x-1)}{y-2} ... (ii) \end{aligned}$ Given equation of tangent is $x=2$, so, slope $=\frac{1}{0}$ $\Rightarrow \frac{2(x-1)}{y-2}=\frac{1}{0} \Rightarrow y=2=k \text { putting in (i), }$ we get $\frac{(\mathrm{x}-1)^2}{1}-0=1 \Rightarrow \mathrm{x}=2=\mathrm{h}$ Now, $h+k=2+2=4$
