Detailed Solution

 Let the coordinates of a point lying on the straight line 3x+4y=24 is t,243t4

 Equation of the chord of contact is tx+y16(243t)=1(24y16)+t(16x3y)=0

 this line always passes through the fixed point which is the point of intersection of the 

 lines 24y16=0 and 16x3y=0 fixed point 18,23, which lies on 16x3y=0,9y2=32x and 24x+24y=19.

a=18,b=23 2a+3b=14+2=2.25
