If the curves `x^(2)-y^(2)=4` and `xy = sqrt(5)` intersect at points A and B, then the possible number of points (s) C on the curve `x^(2)-y^(2) =4` such that triangle ABC is equilateral is

Answer» Correct Answer - A
A and B are `(sqrt(5),1)` and `(-sqrt(5),-1)`.
Let C be `(2 sec theta, 2 tan theta)`
`O(0,0)` is the mid point of Ab
Slope of `OC = sin theta` and slope of `AB = (1)/(sqrt(5))`
Since `OC _|_AB`
So, `sin theta =- sqrt(5)` which is impossible.
