If t is a parameter, then x = at + 1t, y = bt - 1t represents

  • an ellipse

  • a circle

  • a pair of straight lines

  • a hyperbola


D.

a hyperbola

Since, a = at + 1t and y = bt - 1t

 x2a2 - y2b2 = t + 1t2 - t - 1t2                     = t2 + 1t2 + 2 - t2 - 1t2 + 2                    = 4 x24a2 - y24b2 = 1

Thus, the given equation represents a hyperbola.
