Let S denote the locus of the point of intersection of the pair of lines

4x - 3y = 12α,

4α x + 3α y = 12,

where α varies over the set of non-zero real numbers. Let T be the tangent to S passing through the points (p, 0) and (0, q), q > 0, and parallel to the line . Then the value of pq is

Answer: (A)

Solution

The second line is . Solving: , , so : S is a hyperbola. The tangent
