Detailed Solution

Ex2a2+y2b2=1  .....(1)
Directrix of E : is x = 8 and focus S (2, 0) = (ae, 0)
x=ae=8 ..(2)& ae=2  ....(3)
 (2) &(3)8e2=2e=1/2,a=4
b2=a21e2=a2a2e2b2=164b2=12Ex216+y212=1

Equation of tangent of Px1,y1 to E=0, is S1=0
 i.e xx116+yy112=1
passing through the point (0,43), so y1(43)12=1y1=3
So point on x1216+y1212=1
So equation of tangent at P(23,3) of E=0,S1=0
i.e.,  3x+2y=83 interest x-axis at Q83,0      PQ2=133
(3PQ)2=9(PQ)2=9133=39
