Detailed Solution

Equation of tangent at P is x + y = 4
Clearly mirror image of R(-5,5) lies on line PQ.
Now mirror image R'  of R

α+51=β51=2(5+54)2=4α,β=(1,9) Let PM cuts the axis at T; As M is midpoint of PT 

 We know that SP=ST and SMP=π2 Equation SP =y3=13(x1)x+3y10=0 Let S=(103β,β) Again TSPQβ7133β=9311=3 focus is (2,4)
