Tangents are drawn to the ellipse $\frac{x^2}{25}+\frac{y^2}{16}=1$ at all the four ends of its latus rectum. The area (in sq units) of the quadrilateral formed by these tangents is

The distance between the directrices of the ellipse $\frac{x^2}{36} + \frac{y^2}{20} = 1$ is

If the curves $\frac{x^2}{a^2}+\frac{y^2}{b^2}=1$ and $\frac{x^2}{25}+\frac{y^2}{16}=1$ cut each other orthogonally,then $a^2-b^2$ equals to

Let a line $L$ pass through the point of intersection of the lines $bx + 10y - 8 = 0$ and $2x - 3y = 0$,where $b \in R - \{\frac{4}{3}\}$. If the line $L$ also passes through the point $(1, 1)$ and touches the circle $17(x^2 + y^2) = 16$,then the eccentricity of the ellipse $\frac{x^2}{5} + \frac{y^2}{b^2} = 1$ is:
