$\begin{aligned} & \Rightarrow T=S_1 \\ & \Rightarrow y y_1-4\left(x+x_1\right)=y_1^2-8 x_1 \\ & \Rightarrow-4(x+\alpha)=0-8 \alpha \\ & \Rightarrow x+\alpha=2 \alpha \Rightarrow x=\alpha \end{aligned}$
For circle chord with $(2 t^2, 4 t)$ as mid point
$\begin{aligned} & \Rightarrow \quad T=S_1 \\ & \Rightarrow \quad x x_1+y y_1-4=x_1^2+y_1^2-4 \\ & \Rightarrow \quad 2 t^2 x+4 t y=4 t^4+16 t^2 \end{aligned}$
Passes through $(\alpha, 0)$
$\begin{aligned} \Rightarrow & 2 t^2 \alpha=4 t^4+16 t^2 \\ \Rightarrow & 2 \alpha=4 t^2+16 \Rightarrow \alpha=2 t^2+8=x_0+8 \\ & x^2+y^2=4 \text { and } y^2=8 x \\ \Rightarrow & x^2+8 x-4=0 \Rightarrow x_0=\frac{-8+\sqrt{80}}{2} \\ \Rightarrow & p=8 \text { and } q=4+\frac{\sqrt{80}}{2} \Rightarrow(2 q-p)^2=80 \end{aligned}$

Focal distance of $(7,1)=\frac{9}{4}+4=\frac{25}{4}=d$
$12 d=75$

If the slopes of the lines $Q R$ are $m_1$ and $m_2$, then $16\left(m_1^2+m_2^2\right)$ is equal to __________.
Explanation:
$\begin{aligned} & 9 x^2+12 x+18 y-14=0 \\ & \left(x+\frac{2}{3}\right)^2=-2(y-1) \ldots(1) \end{aligned}$
Equation of tangent to (1)
$\begin{aligned} & t\left(x+\frac{2}{3}\right)=-(y-1)+\frac{1}{2} t^2 \text { passes through }(0,1) \\ & \Rightarrow \frac{2}{3} t=\frac{1}{2} t^2 \Rightarrow t=0, \frac{4}{3} \Rightarrow m=0, m=-\frac{4}{3} \end{aligned}$

$\begin{aligned} & \Rightarrow\left|\frac{m+\frac{4}{3}}{1-\frac{4}{3} m}\right|=|m| \Rightarrow\left|\frac{3 m+4}{3-4 m}\right|=|m| \\ & \Rightarrow 3 m+4=m(3-4 m) \text { or } 3 m+4=-m(3-4 m) \\ & 3 m+4=3 m-4 m^2 \text { or } 3 m+4=-3 m+4 m^2 \\ & 4 m^2+4=0 \text { (not possible) or } 4 m^2-6 m-4=0 \\ & m_1+m_2=\frac{3}{2}, m_1 m_2=-1 \\ & \Rightarrow m_1^2+m_2^2=\frac{17}{4} \\ & 16\left(m_1^2+m_2^2\right)=68 \end{aligned}$

Explanation:
Line perpendicular to $2 x-y=10$ have slope $=\frac{-1}{2}$
$\Rightarrow$ Line tangent to parabola $y^2=4(x-9)$ with slope $m$ is
$\begin{aligned} & y=m(x-9)+\frac{1}{m}, m=\frac{-1}{2} \\ & \Rightarrow y=\frac{-(x-9)}{2}-2 \Rightarrow 2 y=-x+9-4 \\ & \Rightarrow 2 y+x=5 \end{aligned}$
Solving the tangent and parabola we get point $P$
$\begin{aligned} & \left(\frac{5-x}{2}\right)^2=4(x-9) \Rightarrow x^2-10 x+25=16 x-144 \\ & \Rightarrow x^2-26 x+169=0 \Rightarrow(x-13)^2=0 \\ & \Rightarrow P \equiv(13,-4) \end{aligned}$
Distance of $P$ from the centre of circle $(7,4)$ is $\sqrt{(13-7)^2+(-4-4)^2}=\sqrt{36+64}=10$ units.

Explanation:
Equation of focal chord
$y-0=\tan \theta .(x-3)$
Distance from origin
$\begin{aligned} & d=\left|\frac{-3 \tan \theta}{\sqrt{1+\tan ^2 \theta}}\right| \\ & I=4 \times 3 \operatorname{cosec}^2 \theta \\ & I. d^2=\frac{9 \tan ^2 \theta}{1+\tan ^2 \theta} \times 12 \operatorname{cosec}^2 \theta \\ & =\frac{108 \operatorname{cosec}^2 \theta}{1+\cot ^2 \theta}=108 \end{aligned}$
Let the length of the focal chord PQ of the parabola $y^2=12 x$ be 15 units. If the distance of $\mathrm{PQ}$ from the origin is $\mathrm{p}$, then $10 \mathrm{p}^2$ is equal to __________.
Explanation:

$\begin{aligned} & A B=15 \Rightarrow\left(3\left(t^2-\frac{1}{t^2}\right)\right)+\left(6\left(t+\frac{1}{t}\right)\right)^2=225 \\ & \Rightarrow 9\left(t^2-\frac{1}{t^2}\right)+36\left(t+\frac{1}{t}\right)^2=225 \end{aligned}$
$ \begin{aligned} \Rightarrow & \left.\left.\left(t+\frac{1}{t}\right)^2 \right[\,\left(t-\frac{1}{t}\right)+4\right]=25 \\ & \left(t+\frac{1}{t}\right)^2\left(t+\frac{1}{t}\right)^2=25 \Rightarrow\left(t+\frac{1}{t}\right)^4=25 \\ \Rightarrow & t+\frac{1}{t}= \pm \sqrt{5} \Rightarrow\left(t-\frac{1}{t}\right)= \pm 1 \end{aligned}$
Equation of $A B:(y-6 t)=\left(\frac{2 t}{t^2-1}\right)\left(x-3 t^2\right)$
$\Rightarrow$ Distance from $y-6 t=m x-3 m t^2$
$\Rightarrow p=\frac{\left|3 m t^2-6 t\right|}{\sqrt{1+m^2}}=\frac{\left|\left(\frac{6 t}{t^2-1}\right)\right|}{\sqrt{5}}=\frac{6}{\sqrt{5}}$
$\left[ m=\frac{2 t}{t^2-1}=\frac{}{t-\frac{1}{t}}= \pm 2 \Rightarrow m^2=4\right]$
$\Rightarrow \quad 10 p^2=\frac{10 \times 36}{5} \Rightarrow 72$
Explanation:
$x^2+y^2=3$ and $x^2=2 y$
$y^2+2 y-3=0 $$\Rightarrow(y+3)(y-1)=0$
$y=-3$ (Rejected) or $y=1$
For $\mathrm{y}=1, \mathrm{x}=\sqrt{2} \Rightarrow P(\sqrt{2}, 1)$
$p$ lies on the line
$ \begin{aligned} & \sqrt{2} x+y=\alpha \\\\ & \sqrt{2}(\sqrt{2})+1=\alpha \\\\ & \alpha=3 \end{aligned} $

Explanation:
Parabola is $x^2=8 y$
Chord with mid point $\left(\mathrm{x}_1, \mathrm{y}_1\right)$ is $\mathrm{T}=\mathrm{S}_1$
$\begin{aligned} & \therefore \mathrm{xx}_1-4\left(\mathrm{y}+\mathrm{y}_1\right)=\mathrm{x}_1^2-8 \mathrm{y}_1 \\ & \therefore\left(\mathrm{x}_1, \mathrm{y}_1\right)=\left(1, \frac{5}{4}\right) \\ & \Rightarrow \mathrm{x}-4\left(\mathrm{y}+\frac{5}{4}\right)=1-8 \times \frac{5}{4}=-9 \end{aligned}$
$\therefore x-4 y+4=0$ ...... (i)
$(\alpha, \beta)$ lies on (i) & also on $y^2=4 x$

$ \text { But, }\left.\frac{\mathrm{dy}}{\mathrm{dx}}\right|_{(3, \alpha)}=\frac{6}{\alpha}=1 \Rightarrow \alpha=6(\alpha=-6 \text { reject }) $
Now, hyperbola $\frac{x^2}{9}-\frac{y^2}{36}=1$, normal at
$ \begin{aligned} & \mathrm{Q}(\alpha-1, \alpha+2) \text { is } \frac{9 \mathrm{x}}{5}+\frac{36 y}{8}=45 \\\\ & \Rightarrow 2 x+5 y-50=0 \end{aligned} $
Now, distance of $(6,-4)$ from $2 x+5 y-50=0$ is equal to
$ \begin{aligned} & \left|\frac{2(6)-5(4)-50}{\sqrt{2^2+5^2}}\right|=\frac{58}{\sqrt{29}} \\\\ & \Rightarrow \text { Squareof distance }=116 \end{aligned} $
