The angle between a pair of tangents drawn from a point $P$ to the circle ${x^2} + {y^2} + 4x - 6y + 9{\sin ^2}\alpha + 13{\cos ^2}\alpha = 0$ is $2\alpha$. The equation of the locus of the point $P$ is

If the angle between a pair of tangents drawn from a point $P$ to the circle $x^2+y^2-4x+2y+3=0$ is $\frac{\pi}{2}$,then the locus of $P$ is

The locus of the centre of the circle,which cuts the circle $x^2+y^2-20x+4=0$ orthogonally and touches the line $x=2$,is

Let $\Gamma$ be a circle with diameter $AB$ and centre $O$. Let $l$ be the tangent to $\Gamma$ at $B$. For each point $M$ on $\Gamma$ different from $A$,consider the tangent $t$ at $M$ and let it intersect $l$ at $P$. Draw a line parallel to $AB$ through $P$ intersecting $OM$ at $Q$. The locus of $Q$ as $M$ varies over $\Gamma$ is

Let $A = (a, 0)$ and $B = (-a, 0)$ be two fixed points. For $a \in (-\infty, 0)$,point $P$ moves in the plane such that $PA = nPB$ $(n \neq 0, 1)$. If the locus of $P$ is a circle,then the circle:
