Q.

Let the tangent and normal at the point (33,1) on the ellipse x236+y24=1 meet the y-axis at the points A and B respectively.  Let the circle C be drawn taking AB as a diameter and the line x=25 intersect C at the points P and Q. If the tangents at the points P and Q on the circle intersect at the point (α,β), then α2β2 is equal to

Tangent at (33,1) is
 x3336+y.14=1 x=0y=4     A=(0,4)
Normal at  (33,1)  is36x334.y1=364  x=0y=8    B=(0,8)
Circle on AB¯ as diameter is (x0)  (x0)+(y4)   (y+8)=0
C=x2+y2+4y32=0
 Clearly PQ is the chord of contact of (α,β)
 equation of PQ is x.α+y.β+2(y+β)32=0αx+(2+β)y+2β32=0 
But PQ is x=25 
Hence
 2+β=0,  322βα=25  β=2,  α=3625 α2β2=32454=3045
