JEE Main 4 August 2021, Shift 2, Maths Q74

Question 74 of 90 in this shift, Maths question 14 of 30, Section A.

Let the normal at any point of hyperbola x2a2−y2b2=1\frac{x^2}{a^2}-\frac{y^2}{b^2}=1 intersect the coordinate axes at points P and Q. Then the locus of the mid-point of PQ is :
  1. (1)2(b2x2+a2y2)=a2+b22\left(b^2x^2+a^2y^2\right)=a^2+b^2
  2. (2)2(b2x2−a2y2)=a2+b22\left(b^2x^2-a^2y^2\right)=a^2+b^2
  3. (3)4(a2x2+b2y2)=(a2+b2)24\left(a^2x^2+b^2y^2\right)=\left(a^2+b^2\right)^2
  4. (4)4(a2x2−b2y2)=(a2+b2)4\left(a^2x^2-b^2y^2\right)=\left(a^2+b^2\right)Official answer
