Statement 111: An equation of a common tangent to the parabola y2=163xy^2=16 \sqrt{3} xy2=163​x and the ellipse 2x2+y2=42 x^2+y^2=42x2+y2=4 is y=2x+23y=2 x+2 \sqrt{3}y=2x+23​. Statement 222: If the line y=mx+43m,(m≠0)y=m x+\frac{4 \sqrt{3}}{m},(m \neq 0)y=mx+m43​​,(m=0) is a common tangent to the parabola y2=163xy^2=16 \sqrt{3} xy2=163​x and the ellipse 2x2+y2=42 x^2+y^2=42x2+y2=4, then mmm satisfies m4+2m2=24m^4+2 m^2=24m4+2m2=24.
