Detailed Solution

Given ellipse S3x2+4y2-19=0

Given point P=(1, 2)

Now equation of tangent at P is S1=0

 3x(1)+4y(2)-19=0  3x+8y-19=0  y=-38x+198

Given parabola y2=k x

where 4a=k    a=k4

since (1) is also tangent to the parabola then c=am

 198=k4-38  198=-8k12  -64k=19×12   k=-19×1264=-5716
