Consider the lines $L_1$ and $L_2$ defined by $L_1: x \sqrt{2} + y - 1 = 0$ and $L_2: x \sqrt{2} - y + 1 = 0$. For a fixed constant $\lambda$,let $C$ be the locus of a point $P$ such that the product of the distance of $P$ from $L_1$ and the distance of $P$ from $L_2$ is $\lambda^2$. The line $y = 2x + 1$ meets $C$ at two points $R$ and $S$,where the distance between $R$ and $S$ is $\sqrt{270}$. Let the perpendicular bisector of $RS$ meet $C$ at two distinct points $R^{\prime}$ and $S^{\prime}$. Let $D$ be the square of the distance between $R^{\prime}$ and $S^{\prime}$.
$(1)$ The value of $\lambda^2$ is
$(2)$ The value of $D$ is

  • A

  • C
    $9, 90.14$
  • D
    $8, 77.15$
