The angle between the tangents drawn from the point $(1,4)$ to the parabola $y^2=4x$ is

The equation of the directrix of the parabola whose focus is $(0,0)$ and the tangent at the vertex is $x-y+1=0$ is

$A$ line $L: y=mx+3$ meets the $y$-axis at $E(0,3)$ and the arc of the parabola $y^2=16x, 0 \leq y \leq 6$ at the point $F(x_0, y_0)$. The tangent to the parabola at $F(x_0, y_0)$ intersects the $y$-axis at $G(0, y_1)$. The slope $m$ of the line $L$ is chosen such that the area of the triangle $EFG$ has a local maximum.
Match List $I$ with List $II$ and select the correct answer using the code given below the lists:
