$P$ is a point on the hyperbola $\frac{x^2}{a^2} - \frac{y^2}{b^2} = 1$. $N$ is the foot of the perpendicular from $P$ on the transverse axis. The tangent to the hyperbola at $P$ meets the transverse axis at $T$. If $O$ is the centre of the hyperbola,then $OT \cdot ON$ is equal to:

  • A
    $e^2$
  • B
    $a^2$
  • C
    $b^2$
  • D
    $\frac{b^2}{a^2}$

The vertices of a hyperbola $H$ are $(\pm 6, 0)$ and its eccentricity is $\frac{\sqrt{5}}{2}$. Let $N$ be the normal to $H$ at a point in the first quadrant and parallel to the line $\sqrt{2} x + y = 2 \sqrt{2}$. If $d$ is the length of the line segment of $N$ between $H$ and the $y$-axis,then $d^2$ is equal to $............$.

Let $H: \frac{x^2}{a^2} - \frac{y^2}{b^2} = 1$ be a hyperbola such that the distance between its foci is $6$ and the distance between its directrices is $\frac{8}{3}$.
