The normal to a curve at P(x, y) meets the X-axis at G. If the distance of G from the origin is twice the abscissa of P then the curve is

The locus of the centre of a variable circle which always touches two given circles externally is

A double ordinate PQ of the hyperbola $${{{x^2}} \over {{a^2}}} - {{{y^2}} \over {{b^2}}} = 1$$ is such that $$\Delta OPQ$$ is equilateral, O being the centre of the hyperbola. Then the eccentricity e satisfies the relation

Let P(4, 3) be a point on the hyperbola $${{{x^2}} \over {{a^2}}} - {{{y^2}} \over {{b^2}}} = 1$$. If the normal at P intersects the X-axis at (16, 0), then the eccentricity of the hyperbola is
