The perimeter of the locus of the point $P$ which divides the line segment $QA$ internally in the ratio $1:2$,where $A=(4,4)$ and $Q$ lies on the circle $x^2+y^2=9$ is

$A$ circle passes through the point $(3, 4)$ and cuts the circle $x^2 + y^2 = a^2$ orthogonally. The locus of its centre is a straight line. If the distance of this straight line from the origin is $25$,then $a^2$ is equal to:

The locus of the centroid of the triangle with vertices at $(a \cos \theta, a \sin \theta)$,$(b \sin \theta, -b \cos \theta)$ and $(1, 0)$ is (where $\theta$ is a parameter).

Let $RS$ be the diameter of the circle $x^2+y^2=1$,where $S$ is the point $(1,0)$. Let $P$ be a variable point (other than $R$ and $S$) on the circle and tangents to the circle at $S$ and $P$ meet at the point $Q$. The normal to the circle at $P$ intersects a line drawn through $Q$ parallel to $RS$ at point $E$. Then the locus of $E$ passes through the point$(s)$:
