Let $x^2=4ky, k>0$ be a parabola with vertex $O(0,0)$. Let $BC$ be its latus rectum. An ellipse with center $P$ on $BC$ touches the parabola at $O$,and cuts $BC$ at points $D$ and $E$ such that $BD=DE=EC$ ($B, D, E, C$ in that order). The eccentricity of the ellipse is

Let $e_{1}$ and $e_{2}$ be the eccentricities of the ellipse $\frac{x^{2}}{25}+\frac{y^{2}}{b^{2}}=1$ $(b < 5)$ and the hyperbola $\frac{x^{2}}{16}-\frac{y^{2}}{b^{2}}=1$ respectively,satisfying $e_{1}e_{2}=1$. If $\alpha$ and $\beta$ are the distances between the foci of the ellipse and the foci of the hyperbola respectively,then the ordered pair $(\alpha, \beta)$ is equal to

Let $P$ be the point of intersection of the common tangents to the parabola $y^2 = 12x$ and the hyperbola $8x^2 - y^2 = 8$. If $S$ and $S'$ denote the foci of the hyperbola where $S$ lies on the positive $x$-axis,then $P$ divides $SS'$ in the ratio:
