Let \( A(\sec \theta, 2 \tan \theta) \) and \( B(\sec \phi, 2 \tan \phi) \), where \( \theta+\phi=\pi / 2 \), be two points on the hyperbola \( 2 x^{2}-y^{2}=2 \). If \( (\alpha, \beta) \) is the point of the intersection of the normals to the hyperbola at \( A \) and \( B \), then \( (2 \beta)^{2} \) is equal to

since, 
2x - y = 2
x²/a²-y²/b² = 1              
equation of normal,
a²x/x1 + b²y/y₁ = a² + b² 

equation of normal at point A (secθ, 2tanθ) 
a² = 1, b² = 2
x1 = secθ, y₁ = 2tanθ
1 × X/secθ + 2 × y/2tanθ = 1 + 2
x/secθ + y/tanθ = 3
x/secθ + ycosθ/sinθ = 3
x/secθ + ycosθ × coseceθ = 3
x/secθ + ycosecθ/secθ = 3 
1/secθ(x + ycosecθ) = 3
x + ycosecθ = 3secθ       _________(i) 

Similarly,
equation of normal at point B(secΦ, 2tanΦ) 
x + ycosecΦ = 3secΦ
θ + Φ = π/2
Φ = π/2 - θ 
x + усosес(π/2 - θ) = 3sес(π/2 - θ)
x + ysecθ = 3cosecθ       _________(ii) 

(i) - (ii) 
x + ycosecθ = 3secθ - (x + ysecθ = 3cosecθ) 
y(cosecθ - secθ) = -3(cosecθ - secθ) 
y = -3
x²/a² - y²/b² = 1 
x²/1 - (-3)²/2 = 1
x2 - 9/2 = 1
x² = 1 + 9/2 
x = √/11/2
x,y = α,β = (√11/2, -3) 
β = -3
(2β)2 = {2 × (-3)}2 = 36
