Let $e_1$ and $e_2$ be two distinct roots of the equation $x^2 - ax + 2 = 0$.  Let the sets  $S_1 = \{a \in \mathbb{R} : e_1 \text{ and } e_2 \text{ are the eccentricities of hyperbolas} \} = (\alpha, \beta),$ and $S_2 = \{a \in \mathbb{R} : e_1 \text{ and } e_2 \text{ are the eccentricities of an ellipse and a hyperbola, respectively} \} = (\gamma, \infty).$ Then $\alpha^2 + \beta^2 + \gamma^2$ is equal to:

Through the vertex $O$ of the parabola $y^2 = 4ax$,two chords $OP$ and $OQ$ are drawn,and the circles on $OP$ and $OQ$ as diameters intersect in $R$. If $\theta_1, \theta_2$,and $\phi$ are the angles made with the axis by the tangents at $P$ and $Q$ on the parabola and by $OR$ respectively,then the value of $\cot \theta_1 + \cot \theta_2$ is:

Suppose $A, B, C$ and $D$ are the four intersection points of the curves $\frac{x^2}{18}+\frac{y^2}{8}=1$ and $x^2-y^2=5$ in $I, II, III$ and $IV$ quadrants respectively. If $\theta_1, \theta_2, \theta_3$ and $\theta_4$ respectively are the angles between the curves at $A, B, C$ and $D$, then

The tangent and normal at $P(t),$ for all real positive $t,$ to the parabola $y^2 = 4ax$ meet the axis of the parabola in $T$ and $G$ respectively. Find the angle at which the tangent at $P$ to the parabola is inclined to the tangent at $P$ to the circle passing through the points $P, T,$ and $G$.

$A$ circle is described whose centre is the vertex and whose diameter is three-quarters of the latus rectum of the parabola $y^2 = 4ax$. If $PQ$ is the common chord of the circle and the parabola and $L_1L_2$ is the latus rectum,then the area of the trapezium $PL_1L_2Q$ is:
