The tangent to the conic \( x^{2}-(y-1)^{2}=2 \) passes through origin and touches this conic in first quadrant at point ( \( \left.a, b\right) \), then the value of \( [9 a] \) is (Where \( [\cdot] \) denotes greatest integer function)

The correct answer is: 22

Let equation of tangent be y=mx (As it passes through 0,0)

On solving with conic

x2-mx-12=2x2-m2x2+1-2mx=2

x21-m2+2mx-3=0

D=0

2m2-41-m2 -3=0

m2+31-m2=0  2m2=3m=32,-32 (rejected, as tangent touches in first quadrant)

 Equation of tangent is

y=32x

For point of contact, solving with conic

x2-3x2-12=22x2-3x-22=4

2x2-3x2+2-26x=4-x2+26x=6

x2-26x=-6x-62=0x=6

  a=6  9a=22.045

=22
