Equation of two parabola are y2=3x and x2=3y.
Let equation of tangent to y2=3x is y=mx+4m3 is also tangent to x2=3y
⇒x2=3mx+4m9
⇒4mx2−12m2x−9=0 have equal roots
⇒D=0
⇒144m4=4(4m)(−9)
⇒m4+m=0⇒m=−1
Hence, common tangent is y=−x−43
⇒4(x+y)+3=0

Let $y^{2}=12 x$ be the parabola with its vertex at O. Let P be a point on the parabola and A be a point on the $x$-axis such that $\angle \mathrm{OPA}=90^{\circ}$. Then the locus of the centroid of such triangles OPA is :
The eccentricity of an ellipse $E$ with centre at the origin $O$ is $\dfrac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$ and its directrices are $x = \pm \dfrac{4\sqrt{6}}{3}$. Let $H: \dfrac{x^2}{a^2} - \dfrac{y^2}{b^2} = 1$ be a hyperbola whose eccentricity is equal to the length of semi-major axis of $E$, and whose length of latus rectum is equal to the length of minor axis of $E$. Then the distance between the foci of $H$ is :
The distance between the points (3, 4) and (6, 8) is:
Let the domain of the function $f(x)=\log _{3} \log _{5} \log _{7}\left(9 x-x^{2}-13\right)$ be the interval $(\mathrm{m}, \mathrm{n})$. Let the hyperbola $\frac{x^{2}}{\mathrm{a}^{2}}-\frac{y^{2}}{\mathrm{~b}^{2}}=1$ have eccentricity $\frac{\mathrm{n}}{3}$ and the length of the latus rectum $\frac{8 \mathrm{~m}}{3}$. Then $\mathrm{b}^{2}-\mathrm{a}^{2}$ is equal to :
Let a point $A$ lie between the parallel lines $L_{1}$ and $L_{2}$ such that its distances from $L_{1}$ and $L_{2}$ are 6 and 3 units, respectively. Then the area (in sq. units) of the equilateral triangle $A B C$, where the points $B$ and C lie on the lines $\mathrm{L}_{1}$ and $\mathrm{L}_{2}$, respectively, is :
