Consider two straight lines, each of which is tangent to both the circle x² + y² = (1/2) and the parabola y² = 4x. Let these lines intersect at the point Q. Consider the ellipse whose centre is at the origin O(0, 0) and whose semi-major axis is OQ. If the length of the minor axis of this ellipse is $$\sqrt 2 $$, then which of the following statement(s) is (are) TRUE?

Let $${E_1}$$ and $${E_2}$$ be two ellipses whose centres are at the origin. The major axes of $${E_1}$$ and $${E_2}$$ lie along the $$x$$-axis and the $$y$$-axis, respectively. Let $$S$$ be the circle $${x^2} + {\left( {y - 1} \right)^2} = 2$$. The straight line $$x+y=3$$ touches the curves $$S$$, $${E_1}$$ and $${E_2}$$ at $$P, Q$$ and $$R$$ respectively. Suppose that $$PQ = PR = {{2\sqrt 2 } \over 3}$$. If $${e_1}$$ and $${e_2}$$ are the eccentricities of $${E_1}$$ and $${E_2}$$, respectively, then the correct expression(s) is (are)

An ellipse intersects the hyperbola $$2{x^2} - 2{y^2} = 1$$ orthogonally. The eccentricity of the ellipse is reciprocal of that of the hyperbola. If the axes of the ellipse are along the coordinate axes then

In a triangle $$ABC$$ with fixed base $$BC$$, the vertex $$A$$ moves such that $$$\cos \,B + \cos \,C = 4{\sin ^2}{A \over 2}.$$$

If $$a, b$$ and $$c$$ denote the lengths of the sides of the triangle opposite to the angles $$A, B$$ and $$C$$, respectively, then
