Let $${F_1}\left( {{x_1},0} \right)$$ and $${F_2}\left( {{x_2},0} \right)$$ for $${{x_1} < 0}$$ and $${{x_2} > 0}$$, be the foci of the ellipse $${{{x^2}} \over 9} + {{{y^2}} \over 8} = 1$$. Suppose a parabola having vertex at the origin and focus at $${F_2}$$ intersects the ellipse at point $$M$$ in the first quadrant and at point $$N$$ in the fourth quadrant.

The orthocentre of the triangle $${F_1}MN$$ is

The common tangents to the circle $${x^2} + {y^2} = 2$$ and the parabola $${y^2} = 8x$$ touch the circle at the points $$P, Q$$ and the parabola at the points $$R$$, $$S$$. Then the area of the quadrilateral $$PQRS$$ is

Let $$a, r, s, t$$ be nonzero real numbers. Let $$P\,\,\left( {a{t^2},2at} \right),\,\,Q,\,\,\,R\,\,\left( {a{r^2},2ar} \right)$$ and $$S\,\,\left( {a{s^2},2as} \right)$$ be distinct points on the parabola $${y^2} = 4ax$$. Suppose that $$PQ$$ is the focal chord and lines $$QR$$ and $$PK$$ are parallel, where $$K$$ is the point $$(2a,0)$$

The value of $$r$$ is

Let $$a, r, s, t$$ be nonzero real numbers. Let $$P\,\,\left( {a{t^2},2at} \right),\,\,Q,\,\,\,R\,\,\left( {a{r^2},2ar} \right)$$ and $$S\,\,\left( {a{s^2},2as} \right)$$ be distinct points on the parabola $${y^2} = 4ax$$. Suppose that $$PQ$$ is the focal chord and lines $$QR$$ and $$PK$$ are parallel, where $$K$$ is the point $$(2a,0)$$

If $$st=1$$, then the tangent at $$P$$ and the normal at $$S$$ to the parabola meet at a point whose ordinate is
