Let $P$ be a point on the ellipse $\frac{x^{2}}{9}+\frac{y^{2}}{4}=1$ and the line through $P$ parallel to the $Y$-axis meets the circle $x^{2}+y^{2}=9$ at $Q$, where $P$ and $Q$ are on the same side of the $X$-axis. If $R$ is a point on $PQ$ such that $\frac{PR}{RQ}=\frac{1}{2}$, then the locus of $R$ is

  • A
    $\frac{x^{2}}{9}+\frac{9y^{2}}{49}=1$
  • B
    $\frac{x^{2}}{49}+\frac{y^{2}}{9}=1$
  • C
    $\frac{x^{2}}{9}+\frac{y^{2}}{49}=1$
  • D
    $\frac{9x^{2}}{49}+\frac{y^{2}}{9}=1$
