For a fixed constant λ, let C be the locus of a point P such that the product of the distance of P from L1
and the distance of P from L2 is λ 2. The line y = 2x + 1 meets C at two points R and S, where the distance
between R and S is 270 .
Let the perpendicular bisector of RS meet C at two distinct points R′ and S′. Let D be the square of the
distance between R′ and S′. [JEE (Adv)-2021 (Paper-1)]
