The correct answer is: 2x+5y=100

Let the equation of hyperbola is x2a2-y2b2=1.

As, vertex is at ±6,0, and it passes through 10,16,
So, the equation of hyperbola is x236-y2144=1.
Equation of normal to the hyperbola at x1, y1 is a2xx1+b2yy1=a2+b2

Thus, on putting values, equation of normal is 2x+5y=100.
