Let the tangent to the circle $x^{2}+y^{2}=25$ at the point $R(3,4)$ meet the $x$-axis and $y$-axis at points $P$ and $Q$,respectively. If $r$ is the radius of the circle passing through the origin $O$ and having its centre at the incentre of the triangle $OPQ$,then $r^{2}$ is equal to

Point $M$ moves along the circle $(x - 4)^2 + (y - 8)^2 = 20$. It then breaks away from the circle and moves along a tangent to the circle,passing through the point $(-2, 0)$ on the $x$-axis. The coordinates of the point on the circle at which the moving point broke away can be:
