Let point on ellipse (2sinθ, 3cosθ) and the mid point of line segment joining (-3, -5) and
(2 sin θ, 3cosθ) will be (h, k)
sin2 θ + cos2 θ = 1
= 1

Since A (sec θ, 2 tanθ) & B
2sec2 θ - 4tan2θ = 2 or sec2 θ - 2 tan2 θ = 1
->
Similarly
Hence question is not correct

Equation of tangent at P (2, -4)
y (-4) = 4 (x + 2)
x + y + 2 = 0
So, A (-2, 0)
Equation of normal at P:
y + 4 = 1 (x – 2)
x – y = 6
So, B (-2, -8)
For square mid-point of AB = mid-point of PQ
So, 2a + b = -16

Locus of point of intersection of perpendicular tangent will be its director circle & director circle of parabola be its directrix.
Given parabola y2 = 16 (x – 3) so equation of directrix be x – 3 = - 4 i.e., x + 1 = 0

(y – 2)2 = (x – 1)
2 (y – 2)
Equation of tangent at P (2, 3):
2y – 6 = x – 2
x – 2y + 4 = 0
Q (-4, 0)
