$P$ is a point $(a, b)$ in the first quadrant. If the two circles which pass through $P$ and touch both the coordinate axes cut at right angles,then:

$ax - y + c = 0$ is the equation of the common tangent to the parabola $y^2 = 8\sqrt{5}x$ and the circle $x^2 + y^2 = 1$. If this tangent makes an acute angle with the positive $X$-axis,then $a^2c^2 =$

Let $A=\{(x, y) \in R \times R \mid 2 x^{2}+2 y^{2}-2 x-2 y=1\}$,$B=\{(x, y) \in R \times R \mid 4 x^{2}+4 y^{2}-16 y+7=0\}$ and $C=\{(x, y) \in R \times R \mid x^{2}+y^{2}-4 x-2 y+5 \leq r^{2}\}$. Then the minimum value of $|r|$ such that $A \cup B \subseteq C$ is equal to:

Let a line perpendicular to the line $2x - y = 10$ touch the parabola $y^2 = 4(x - 9)$ at the point $P$. The distance of the point $P$ from the centre of the circle $x^2 + y^2 - 14x - 8y + 56 = 0$ is ...........
