The equations of the common tangents to the two hyperbolas $\frac{x^2}{a^2} - \frac{y^2}{b^2} = 1$ and $\frac{y^2}{a^2} - \frac{x^2}{b^2} = 1$ are:

  • A
    $y = x + \sqrt{a^2 - b^2}$
  • B
    $y = x - \sqrt{a^2 - b^2}$
  • C
    $y = -x + \sqrt{a^2 - b^2}$
  • D

$PQ$ is a normal chord of the parabola $y^2 = 4ax$ at $P$,$A$ being the vertex of the parabola. Through $P$,a line is drawn parallel to $AQ$ meeting the $x$-axis in $R$. Then the length of $AR$ is:

$A$ circle has the same center as an ellipse and passes through the foci $F_1$ and $F_2$ of the ellipse,such that the two curves intersect in $4$ points. Let $P$ be any one of their points of intersection. If the major axis of the ellipse is $17$ and the area of the triangle $PF_1F_2$ is $30$,then the distance between the foci is:

An ellipse $\frac{x^2}{a^2} + \frac{y^2}{b^2} = 1, a > b$ and the parabola $x^2 = 4(y + b)$ are such that the two foci of the ellipse and the end points of the latus rectum of the parabola are the vertices of a square. The eccentricity of the ellipse is
