- Two vertices of a triangle \( \triangle ABC \) are \( A(3, -1) \) and \( B(-2, 3) \), and its orthocentre is \( P(1, 1) \). If the coordinates of the point \( C \) are \( (\alpha, \beta) \) and the centre of the circle circumscribing the triangle \( \triangle PAB \) is \( (h, k) \), then the value of \[ (\alpha + \beta) + 2(h + k) \] equals:

- Three points $O(0, 0)$, $P(a, a^2)$, $Q(-b, b^2)$, $a>0, b>0$, are on the parabola $y = x^2$. Let $S_1$ be the area of the region bounded by the line $PQ$ and the parabola, and $S_2$ be the area of the triangle $OPQ$. If the minimum value of $\frac{S_1}{S_2}$ is $\frac{m}{n}$, $\gcd(m, n) = 1$, then $m + n$ is equal to:
