    Let e1e_{1} be the eccentricity of the hyperbola x216−y29=1\frac{x^{2}}{16}-\frac{y^{2}}{9}= 1 and e2e_{2} be the eccentricity of the ellipse x2a2+y2b2=1,a>b\frac{x^{2}}{a^{2}}+\frac{y^{2}}{b^{2}}= 1,a > b, which passes through the foci of the hyperbola. If e1e2=1e_{1}e_{2}= 1, then the length of the chord of the ellipse parallel to the xx-axis and passing through (0,2)(0,2) is:

    Let the circles C1:(x−α)2+(y−β)2=r12C_{1}:(x - \alpha)^{2}+ (y - \beta)^{2}=r_{1}^{2} and C2:(x−8)2+(y−152)2=r22C_{2}:(x - 8)^{2}+\left( y -\frac{15}{2} \right)^{2}=r_{2}^{2} touch each other externally at the point (6,6)(6,6). If the point (6,6)(6,6) divides the line segment joining the centres of the circles C1C_{1} and C2C_{2} internally in the ratio 2:12:1, then (α+β)+4(r12+r22)(\alpha + \beta) + 4\left( r_{1}^{2}+r_{2}^{2} \right) equals
