Show multiple PlotRange in parametric plot

Questions
1

In the notebook, I have two parametric plots for different plotrange in y axes as you can see in the first two plots. Now to combine them in a single plot i tried using Show command. But it shows plotrange for the first plot only. How can I fix it or is there any other way to do this?
Thank You

The function Show is tricky, because it will use the PlotRange of the first plot and ignore the other ranges, unless you give it a value at the end. What plot range do you wish for the combined plot?

Show[
 ParametricPlot[{r^2 + 1, 1/r}, {r, 1, 5}],
 ParametricPlot[{r^2 + 2, 2/r}, {r, 1, 5}],
 PlotRange -> All, AspectRatio -> 1/2]

or, more simply,

ParametricPlot[{{r^2 + 1, 1/r}, {r^2 + 2, 2/r}}, {r, 1, 5},
 PlotRange -> All, AspectRatio -> 1/2]

I want use Plotrange in y-axis 0.2 to 0.8 for first plot and 1 to 2 for second plot and show them in single graph.

I don’t know of a straightforward way. You either change the ranges of r, or use RegionFunction:

Show[ParametricPlot[{r^2 + 1, 1/r}, {r, 1, 5},
  PlotRange -> {{0, 10}, {0.2, 0.8}},
  RegionFunction -> Function[{x, y}, 0.2 < y < .8]],
 ParametricPlot[{r^2 + 2, 2/r}, {r, 1, 5},
  RegionFunction -> Function[{x, y}, 1 < y < 2]],
 AspectRatio -> 1/2, PlotRange -> {{0, 10}, {0.2, 2}}]
