$A$ tangent drawn at a point on the ellipse $\frac{x^2}{25}+\frac{y^2}{16}=1$ cuts the $X$-axis at point $A$. If $A^{\prime}$ is the image of $A$ with respect to the line $y=x$,then the circle with $AA^{\prime}$ as its diameter passes through the fixed point:

If $P$ lies in the first quadrant on the ellipse $\frac{x^2}{a^2} + \frac{y^2}{b^2} = 1$ (where $a > b$),and the tangent and normal drawn at $P$ meet the major axis at points $T$ and $N$ respectively,then the value of $\frac{(\left| F_2N \right| + \left| F_1N \right|)(\left| F_2T \right| - \left| F_1T \right|)}{(\left| F_2N \right| - \left| F_1N \right|)(\left| F_2T \right| + \left| F_1T \right|)}$ is equal to (where $F_1$ and $F_2$ are the foci $(ae, 0)$ and $(-ae, 0)$ respectively).

The length of the latus rectum of an ellipse is $\frac{1}{3}$ of its major axis. Its eccentricity is:

An angle of intersection of the curves,$\frac{x^{2}}{a^{2}}+\frac{y^{2}}{b^{2}}=1$ and $x^{2}+y^{2}=ab$,where $a > b$,is :

An ellipse is drawn with major and minor axes of lengths $10$ and $8$ respectively. Using one focus as the centre,a circle is drawn that is tangent to the ellipse,with no part of the circle being outside the ellipse. The radius of the circle is
