If $$a>2b>0$$ then the positive value of $$m$$ for which $$y = mx - b\sqrt {1 + {m^2}} $$ is a common tangent to $${x^2} + {y^2} = {b^2}$$ and $${\left( {x - a} \right)^2} + {y^2} = {b^2}$$ is :
$${x^2} - 5xy + 6{y^2} = 0$$ represents a pair of straight lines given by $$x-3y=0$$ and $$x-2y=0.$$
Also $$a{x^2} + b{y^2} + c = 0$$ will represent a circle if $$a=b$$ and $$c$$ is of sign opposite to that of $$a.$$

The line joining $$\left( {5,\,0} \right)$$ to $$\left( {10\,\cos \,\theta ,\,10\,\sin \,\theta } \right)$$ is divided internally in the ratio $$2 : 3$$ at $$P$$. If $$\theta $$ varies, then the locus of $$P$$ is :
Let $$P\left( {x,\,y} \right)$$ be the point dividing the join of $$A$$ and $$B$$ in the ratio $$2 : 3$$ internally, then
$$\eqalign{
& x = \frac{{20\,\cos \,\theta + 15}}{5} = 4\,\cos \,\theta + 3 \cr
& \Rightarrow \cos \,\theta = \frac{{x - 3}}{4}......\left( {\text{i}} \right) \cr
& y = \frac{{20\,\sin \,\theta + 0}}{5} = 4\,\sin \,\theta \cr
& \Rightarrow \sin \,\theta = \frac{y}{4}......\left( {{\text{ii}}} \right) \cr} $$
Squaring and adding $$\left( {{\text{i}}} \right)$$ and $$\left( {{\text{ii}}} \right),$$ we get the required locus $${\left( {x - 3} \right)^2} + {y^2} = 16,$$ which is a circle.

The locus of the vertices of the family of parabolas $$y = \frac{{{a^3}{x^2}}}{3} + \frac{{{a^2}x}}{2} - 2a$$ is :
Given equation of ellipse can be written as
$$\frac{{{x^2}}}{6} + \frac{{{y^2}}}{2} = 1\,\,\,\,\,\,\, \Rightarrow {a^2} = 6,\,\,\,{b^2} = 2$$
Now, equation of any variable tangent is
$$y = mx \pm \sqrt {{a^2}{m^2} + {b^2}} .....({\text{i}})$$
where $$m$$ is slope of the tangent
So, equation of perpendicular line drawn from centre to tangent is
$$y = \frac{{ - x}}{m}.....({\text{ii}})$$
Eliminating $$m,$$ we get
$$\eqalign{
& \left( {{x^4} + {y^4} + 2{x^2}{y^2}} \right) = {a^2}{x^2} + {b^2}{y^2} \cr
& \Rightarrow {\left( {{x^2} + {y^2}} \right)^2} = {a^2}{x^2} + {b^2}{y^2} \cr
& \Rightarrow \boxed{{{\left( {{x^2} + {y^2}} \right)}^2} = 6{x^2} + 2{y^2}} \cr} $$

The normal to the curve, $${x^2} + 2xy - 3{y^2} = 0,$$ at $$\left( {1,\,1} \right)$$
A
meets the curve again in the third quadrant.
B
meets the curve again in the fourth quadrant.
C
does not meet the curve again.
D
meets the curve again in the second quadrant.
Answer :
meets the curve again in the fourth quadrant.
Given curve is
$${x^2} + 2xy - 3{y^2} = 0.....(1)$$
Differentiate w.r.t. $$x,\,\,\,2x + 2x\frac{{dy}}{{dx}} + 2y - 6y\frac{{dy}}{{dx}} = 0$$
$${\left( {\frac{{dy}}{{dx}}} \right)_{\left( {1,\,1} \right)}} = 1$$
Equation of normal at $$\left( {1,\,1} \right)$$ is
$$y = 2 - x.....(2)$$
Solving equation (1) and (2), we get $$x=1 ,\,3$$
Point of intersection $$\left( {1,\,1} \right),\,\left( {3,\, - 1} \right)$$
Normal cuts the curve again in 4th quadrant.

and $$y=0,$$ where $$p \ne q,$$ is :
