The lengths of the two focal chords of the parabola $y^2 = 16x$ are $25$ units each. If these two chords cut the parabola at $A, B, C$ and $D$,then the area (in sq. units) of the quadrilateral formed by $A, B, C$ and $D$ is

The equations of the sides $AB$ and $AC$ of a triangle $ABC$ are $(\lambda+1) x +\lambda y =4$ and $\lambda x +(1-\lambda) y +\lambda=0$ respectively. Its vertex $A$ is on the $y$-axis and its orthocentre is $(1,2)$. The length of the tangent from the point $C$ to the part of the parabola $y^2=6 x$ in the first quadrant is

Let $P$ be a point on the parabola $y^{2}=12x$ and $N$ be the foot of the perpendicular drawn from $P$ on the axis of the parabola. $A$ line is drawn through the mid-point $M$ of $PN$,parallel to the axis of the parabola,which meets the parabola at $Q$. If the $y$-intercept of the line $NQ$ is $\frac{4}{9}$,then:

The vertices of the base of an isosceles triangle lie on a parabola $y^2=4x$ and the base is a part of the line $y=2x-4$. If the third vertex of the triangle lies on the $X$-axis,its coordinates are
