Detailed Solution

y = x2 
To find t1 + t2 + t3 = ?
m1=t22t12t2t1=t2+t1
Similarly m2 = t2 + t1 and m3 = t3 + t1 
Hence ti=m1+m2+m32
Now, tan60=m21+2m
±3(1+2m)=m2
Taking + ve sign, we get 3(1+2m)=m2
=m(231)=(2+3);m=(2+3)231
Taking – ve sign, we get
m2=23m3m(23+1)=23;m=2323+1m1=(2+3)231;m2=2323+1 and m3=2=i=13ti=m1+m2+m32=(2+3)23+2323+12=43263+4362+3+22112 =622=311=pq=(p+q)=14
