Question

Consider the hyperbola H : x 2 - y 2 = 1 and a circle S with center N x 2 , 0 . Suppose that H and S touch each other at point P x 1 , y 1 with x 1 > 1 a n d y 1 > 0 . The common tangent to H and S at P intersects the x - axis at point M. If ( l , m ) is the centroid of the triangle Δ P M N , then the correct expression(s) is(are)
