The eccentricity of an ellipse, with its centre at the origin, is 1 /2 . If one of the directrices is x = 4, then the equation of the ellipse is
3x2 +4y2 = 1
3x2+ 4y2 = 12
4x2 +3y2 = 12
4x2 +3y2 = 12
PQR is a triangular park with PQ = PR = 200 m. A T.V. tower stands at the mid-point of QR. If the angles of elevation of the top of the tower at P, Q and R are respectively 45o, 30o and 30o, then the height of the tower (in m) is

Clearly, PQ is a chord of contact,
i.e., the equation of PQ is T = 0
=> y = –12
Solving with curve, 4x2 - y2 = 36
Tangent and normal are drawn at P(16, 16) on the parabola y2 = 16x, which intersect the axis of the
parabola at A and B, respectively. If C is the centre of the circle through the points P, A and B and,∠CPB = θ then a value of tan θ is

A straight line through a fixed point (2, 3) intersects the coordinate axes at distinct points P and Q. If O is the origin and the rectangle OPRQ is completed, then the locus of R is
3x + 2y = 6xy
3x + 2y = 6
2x + 3y = xy
3x + 2y = xy
Let P be the foot of the perpendicular from focus S of hyperbola on the line bx- ay = 0 and let C be the centre of the hyperbola. Then, the area of the rectangle whose sides are equal to that of SP and CP is

B is an extremity of the minor axis of an ellipse whose foci are S and S'. If SBS' is a right angle, then the eccentricity of the ellipse is
The axis of the parabola x2 + 2xy + y2 - 5x + 5y - 5 = 0 is
