If a number of ellipse be described having the same major axis $2a$  but a variable minor axis then the tangents at the ends of their latera recta pass through fixed points which can be

If tangents are drawn from the point ($2 + 13cos\theta , 3 + 13sin\theta $) to the ellipse $\frac{(x-2)^2}{25} + \frac{(y-3)^2}{144} = 1,$ then angle between them, is

The line $x =8$ is the directrix of the ellipse $E: \frac{x^2}{a^2}+\frac{y^2}{b^2}=1$ with the corresponding focus $(2,0)$. If the tangent to $E$ at the point $P$ in the first quadrant passes through the point $(0,4 \sqrt{3})$ and intersects the $x$-axis at $Q$, then $(3PQ)^2$ is equal to $........$
