Answer» Correct Answer - C
Let `P(h,k)` be any point. The chord of contact of P w.r.t. the hyperbola is
`(hx)/(a^(2))-(ky)/(b^(2))=1" (1)"`
The chord of contact of P w.r.t. the auxxiliary circle is
`hx+ky=a^(2)" (2)"`
Now, `(h)/(a^(2))xx(b^(2))/(k)xx(-(h)/(k))=-1`
`"or "(h^(2))/(a^(2))-(k^(2))/(b^(2))=0`
Therefore, P lies on one of the asymptotes.
