An ellipse having the coordinate axes as its axes and its major axis along the $Y$-axis,passes through the point $(-3, 1)$ and has eccentricity $e = \sqrt{\frac{2}{5}}$. Then its equation is:

The radius of a circle centered at $(0, 3)$ and passing through the foci of the ellipse $\frac{x^2}{16} + \frac{y^2}{9} = 1$ is:

Let $E_1 = \frac{x^2}{9} + \frac{y^2}{4} = 1$ and $E_2 = \frac{x^2}{a^2} + \frac{y^2}{b^2} = 1$ be two ellipses and $R$ be a rectangle with sides parallel to the coordinate axes. Let $E_1$ be the inscribed ellipse in $R$ and $E_2$ be the circumscribed ellipse on $R$. If $E_2$ passes through $(0, 4)$,then:

If $F_1$ and $F_2$ are the feet of the perpendiculars from the foci $S_1$ and $S_2$ of an ellipse $\frac{x^2}{5} + \frac{y^2}{3} = 1$ on the tangent at any point $P$ on the ellipse,then $(S_1 F_1) (S_2 F_2)$ is equal to
