Detailed Solution

The given curves are y2=4a(xk) and x2=4a(yl)

Syppose that the curves are touch each other at a point Px1,y1

Hence, the slopes of tangents at Px1,y1 to the curves are equal. 

Hence, 

2ydydx=4adydx=2ay

So that m1=2ay1

and m2=x12a

Since the curves touch each other, their slopes must be equal at their point of contact

hence, 

2ay1=x12a

Cross multiply

x1y1=4a2

Threfore, the locus of point of contact is xy=4a2

Therefore, m=4
