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.
