Let P : y² = 4ax, a > 0 be a parabola with focus S. Let the tangents to the parabola P make an angle of $${\pi \over 4}$$ with the line y = 3x + 5 touch the parabola P at A and B. Then the value of a for which A, B and S are collinear is

Let PQ be a focal chord of the parabola y² = 4x such that it subtends an angle of $${\pi \over 2}$$ at the point (3, 0). Let the line segment PQ be also a focal chord of the ellipse $$E:{{{x^2}} \over {{a^2}}} + {{{y^2}} \over {{b^2}}} = 1$$, $${a^2} > {b^2}$$. If e is the eccentricity of the ellipse E, then the value of $${1 \over {{e^2}}}$$ is equal to:

Let a > 0, b > 0. Let e and l respectively be the eccentricity and length of the latus rectum of the hyperbola $${{{x^2}} \over {{a^2}}} - {{{y^2}} \over {{b^2}}} = 1$$. Let e' and l' respectively be the eccentricity and length of the latus rectum of its conjugate hyperbola. If $${e^2} = {{11} \over {14}}l$$ and $${\left( {e'} \right)^2} = {{11} \over 8}l'$$, then the value of $$77a + 44b$$ is equal to :

If vertex of a parabola is (2, $$-$$1) and the equation of its directrix is 4x $$-$$ 3y = 21, then the length of its latus rectum is :
