Consider an ellipse $E$,a hyperbola $H$,and a parabola $P$ such that each curve has the focus at $(2, 3)$ and the corresponding directrix is $x + y - 10 = 0$. If $(\alpha, \alpha_1)$,$(\beta, \beta_1)$,and $(\gamma, \gamma_1)$ are the nearest vertices of the ellipse,hyperbola,and parabola to the given directrix respectively,then:

$AB$ is a chord of the parabola $y^2 = 4ax$ with one endpoint $A$ at the vertex of the parabola. $BC$ is drawn perpendicular to $AB$ and meets the axis of the parabola at $C$. What is the projection of $BC$ on the axis of the parabola?

$A$ bar of length $20$ units moves with its ends on two fixed straight lines at right angles. $A$ point $P$ marked on the bar at a distance of $8$ units from one end describes a conic whose eccentricity is

Let the eccentricity of an ellipse $\frac{x^2}{a^2} + \frac{y^2}{b^2} = 1$ be the reciprocal of the eccentricity of the hyperbola $2x^2 - 2y^2 = 1$. If the ellipse intersects the hyperbola at right angles,then the square of the length of the latus-rectum of the ellipse is $................$.
