At the point of intersection of the rectangular hyperbola $xy = c^2$ and the parabola $y^2 = 4ax$,tangents to the rectangular hyperbola and the parabola make an angle $\theta$ and $\phi$ respectively with the $X$-axis. Then:

  • A
    $\theta = \tan^{-1}(-2 \tan \phi)$
  • B
    $\phi = \tan^{-1}(-2 \tan \theta)$
  • C
    $\theta = \tan^{-1}(-\tan \phi)$
  • D
    $\phi = \tan^{-1}(-\tan \theta)$
