Let $E$ be the ellipse $\frac{x^2}{16}+\frac{y^2}{9}=1$. For any three distinct points $P, Q$ and $Q^{\prime}$ on $E$, let $M(P, Q)$ be the mid-point of the line segment joining $P$ and $Q$, and $M \left( P , Q ^{\prime}\right)$ be the mid-point of the line segment joining $P$ and $Q ^{\prime}$. Then the maximum possible value of the distance between $M ( P , Q )$ and $M \left( P , Q ^{\prime}\right)$, as $P, Q$ and $Q^{\prime}$ vary on $E$, is. . . . .
