Let each of the two ellipses $E_1: \frac{x^2}{a^2} + \frac{y^2}{b^2} = 1, (a > b)$ and $E_2: \frac{x^2}{A^2} + \frac{y^2}{B^2} = 1, (A < B)$ have eccentricity $\frac{4}{5}$. Let the lengths of the latus recta of $E_1$ and $E_2$ be $\ell_1$ and $\ell_2$, respectively, such that $2\ell_1^2 = 9\ell_2$. If the distance between the foci of $E_1$ is $8$, then the distance between the foci of $E_2$ is:

Let $S_{1}: x^{2}+y^{2}=9$ and $S_{2}:(x-2)^{2}+y^{2}=1$. Then the locus of the center of a variable circle $S$ which touches $S_{1}$ internally and $S_{2}$ externally always passes through the points :

If the distance between a focus and the corresponding directrix of an ellipse is $8$ and the eccentricity is $1/2$,then the length of the minor axis is

Let $x = 9$ be a directrix of an ellipse $E$, whose centre is at the origin and eccentricity is $1/3$. Let $P(\alpha, 0), \alpha > 0$, be a focus of $E$ and $AB$ be a chord passing through $P$. Then the locus of the mid point of $AB$ is :
