If the extremities of the latus rectum having positive ordinate of the ellipse $\frac{x^2}{a^2} + \frac{y^2}{b^2} = 1$ $(a > b)$ lie on the parabola $x^2 + 2ay - 4 = 0$,then the points $(a, b)$ lie on the curve:

  • A
    $xy = 4$
  • B
    $x^2 + y^2 = 4$
  • C
    $\frac{x^2}{4} + \frac{y^2}{1} = 1$
  • D
    $\frac{x^2}{4} - \frac{y^2}{1} = 1$

Let $a, b$ and $\lambda$ be positive real numbers. Suppose $P$ is an end point of the latus rectum of the parabola $y^2 = 4 \lambda x$,and suppose the ellipse $\frac{x^2}{a^2} + \frac{y^2}{b^2} = 1$ passes through the point $P$. If the tangents to the parabola and the ellipse at the point $P$ are perpendicular to each other,then the eccentricity of the ellipse is

The tangent at $P$ to a parabola $y^2 = 4ax$ meets the directrix at $U$ and the latus rectum at $V$. Then $\triangle SUV$ (where $S$ is the focus) :
