Detailed Solution

Tangent at t to y2=4x is xty+t2=0....... (1)
normal at (5cosθ,2sinθ) to  the ellipse 4x2 + 5y2 = 20 is

 (5secθ)x(2cosecθ)y=1.... (2), Since  (1) and (2) represents the same line then5secθ1=-2cosecθ-t=-1t2t=25cotθ and t=-12sinθ25cotθ =-12sinθ5cos2θ-4cosθ-5=0(5cosθ+1)(cosθ-5)=0cosθ=-15(cosθ5)θ=cos115sub cosθ value in t we get t=15
