Question:
The equation of the chord of the hyperbola \( 25x^2 - 16y^2 = 400 \), which is bisected at the point \( (6, 2) \), is?
The equation of the chord of the hyperbola \( 25x^2 - 16y^2 = 400 \), which is bisected at the point \( (6, 2) \), is?
Show Hint
For hyperbolas, use the midpoint of the chord to derive the equation of the chord.

- \( 6x - 7y = 418 \)
- \( 75x - 16y = 418 \)
- \( 25x - 4y = 400 \)
- None of these
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
The equation of a chord bisected at a specific point can be derived using the midpoint formula and the general equation of the hyperbola.
