Correct answer
120

Step-by-step explanation




$\begin{aligned}
& \left|\mathrm{PS}_1-\mathrm{PS}_2\right|^2=4 \mathrm{a}^2 \\ & \mathrm{PS}_1^2+\mathrm{PS}_2{ }^2-2 \mathrm{PS}_1 \cdot \mathrm{PS}_2=4 \mathrm{a}^2 \\ & (\mathrm{ae}-4)^2+12+(\mathrm{ae}+4)^2+12-64=4 \mathrm{a}^2 \\ & 2 \mathrm{a}^2 \mathrm{e}^2-8=4 \mathrm{a}^2 \\ & \mathrm{a}^2+\mathrm{b}^2-4=2 \mathrm{a}^2 \\ & \mathrm{~b}^2-\mathrm{a}^2=4
\end{aligned}\begin{aligned}
& (2) \&(3) \Rightarrow 16\left(a^2+4\right)-12 a^2=a^2\left(a^2+4\right) \\ & \Rightarrow 16 a^2+64-12 a^2=a^4+4 a^2 \\ & \Rightarrow a^4=64 \\ & \Rightarrow a^2=8
\end{aligned}\begin{aligned} & \therefore \mathrm{b}^2=12 \\ & \mathrm{p}^2+\mathrm{q}^2=4 \mathrm{~b}^2+\frac{4 \mathrm{~b}^4}{\mathrm{a}^2} \\ & =120\end{aligned}$
