A chord $PQ$ of the ellipse $\frac{x^2}{9} + \frac{y^2}{4} = 1$ subtends right angle at its  centre. The locus of the point of intersection of tangents drawn at $P$ and $Q$ is-

An ellipse is drawn by taking a diameter of the circle ${\left( {x - 1} \right)^2} + {y^2} = 1$ as its semi-minor axis and a diameter of the circle ${x^2} + {\left( {y - 2} \right)^2} = 4$ is semi-major axis. If the center of the ellipse is at the origin and its axes are the coordinate axes, then the equation of the ellipse is :
