Let $P$ be a point on the ellipse $\frac{x^2}{9}+\frac{y^2}{4}=1$. Let the line passing through $P$ and parallel to $y$-axis meet the circle $x^2+y^2=9$ at point $Q$ such that $P$ and $Q$ are on the same side of the $x$-axis. Then, the eccentricity of the locus of the point $R$ on $P Q$ such that $P R: R Q=4: 3$ as $P$ moves on the ellipse, is :

A circle has the same centre as an ellipse and passes through the foci $F_1 \& F_2$  of the ellipse, such that the two curves intersect in $4$  points. Let $'P'$  be any one of their point of intersection. If the major axis of the ellipse is $17 $ and  the area of the triangle $PF_1F_2$ is $30$, then the distance between the foci is :
