Q.

On the axis of parabola  y2=8x ,there is a point P(4,0) .
A chord L1  making an angle θ1 with the positive direction of x-axis through P  meets the parabola at A1  and B1 , and 

a chord L2  making an angle θ2 with the positive direction of x-axis through P  meets the parabola at A2  and B2 , and 
 a chord L3  making an angle θ3 with the positive direction of x-axis  through  P meets the parabola at  A3  and B3 , and
 also a chord  L4 making an angle θ4 with the positive direction of x-axis  through P  meets the parabola at A4  and  B4,  (0<θ1<θ2<θ3<θ4<π2)
then the value of 
1(A1P)2+1(B1P)2 + 1(A2P)2+1(B2P)2 + 1(A3P)2+1(B3P)21(A4P)2+1(B4P)2 is _______

Since we are dealing with distances here, it would be best if we use the polar form of a line's equation to represent the points A  and B . Thus, we use (h+rcosθ,rsinθ)  as any point lying on A B. If this lies on the parabola, then
(rsinθ)2=4a(h+rcosθ)(sin2θ)r2(4acosθ)r4ah=0 $ 
Let the two roots of this equation be r1  and r2  
(corresponding to AP and BP)
1AP2+1BP2=1r12+1r22=(r1+r2)22(r1r2)(r1r2)2=116
