The  chord  of  contact of  tangents  from \mathrm{\(\alpha, \beta) } is 

\mathrm{\alpha x+\beta y=1}        .... [1]

\mathrm{\text { Also, }(\alpha, \beta) \text { lies on } 2 x+y=4 \text {, so that } 2 \alpha+\beta=4}

\mathrm{\Rightarrow \frac{\alpha}{2}+\frac{\beta}{4}=1 }

Hence, (1) passes through \mathrm{\left(\frac{1}{2}, \frac{1}{4}\right) }
