Six cards and six envelopes are numbered 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and cards are to be placed in envelopes so that each envelope contains exactly one card and no card is placed in the envelope bearing the same number and moreover the card numbered 1 is always placed in envelope numbered 2. Then the number of ways it can be done 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
