If the sum of the distances from the foci to the centre $O(0,0)$ of an ellipse is $8 \sqrt{6}$ units and the area of the smallest rectangle in which that ellipse is inscribed is $80$ sq. units,then the equation of such an ellipse is

Let $E_1: \frac{x^2}{9}+\frac{y^2}{4}=1$ be an ellipse. Ellipses $E_i$ are constructed such that their centres and eccentricities are the same as that of $E_1$,and the length of the minor axis of $E_i$ is the length of the major axis of $E_{i+1}$ $(i \geq 1)$.
