Detailed Solution

As tangents are perpendicular to each other and its points of intersections P(75,45)  lies on directrix. AB is focal chord.
Equation of AB is x – y =4, as focus is  (α,β)
so  αβ=4β=α4
Now  ASP=90
  2α+42α45α+475α=1
  2α2α165α75α=1
 165α=α75;α=2310
  Focus is  (2310,1710)
Also,  l1=AS=3210,l2=BS=27210
 1a=1l1+1l2a=2721004a=27225
