See information of the parabolae below:
$$y^2=4b(x-2a+b) \tag{1}$$ $$\frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{2b}{y}$$
- vertex: $(2a-b,0)$
- focal length: $b$
- focus: $(2a,0)$
- semi-latus rectum: $2b$
$$x^2+4a(y-2b-a)=0 \tag{2}$$ $$\frac{dy}{dx}=-\frac{x}{2a}$$
- vertex is at $(0,a+2b)$
- focal length: $a$
- focus is at $(0,2b)$
- semi-latus rectum: $2a$
The common end of the latus rectums is the intersection $(2a,2b)$. The slopes of the tangents are $1$ and $-1$ respectively. So the meet at $90^{\circ}$ to each other.
No options equal to $90^{\circ}$. Note that $90^{\circ}=\cot^{-1} 1+\cot^{-1} 2+\cot^{-1} 3$, there may be typos.
