Let $P(x_1, y_1)$ and $Q(x_2, y_2)$ be two distinct points on the ellipse $\frac{x^2}{9}+\frac{y^2}{4}=1$ such that $y_1 > 0$ and $y_2 > 0$. Let $C$ denote the circle $x^2+y^2=9$,and $M$ be the point $(3,0)$. Suppose the line $x=x_1$ intersects $C$ at $R$,and the line $x=x_2$ intersects $C$ at $S$,such that the $y$-coordinates of $R$ and $S$ are positive. Let $\angle ROM = \frac{\pi}{6}$ and $\angle SOM = \frac{\pi}{3}$,where $O$ denotes the origin $(0,0)$. Let $|XY|$ denote the length of the line segment $XY$. Then which of the following statements is (are) True?
