If the radius of the largest circle with centre $(2,0)$ inscribed in the ellipse $x^2+4y^2=36$ is $r$,then $12r^2$ is equal to

If $S$ and $S'$ are the two foci of the ellipse $\frac{x^2}{a^2} + \frac{y^2}{b^2} = 1$ where $a < b$,and $P(x_1, y_1)$ is a point on the ellipse,then $SP + S'P = \dots$

Consider the ellipse $\frac{x^2}{4}+\frac{y^2}{3}=1$. Let $H(\alpha, 0)$,$0 < \alpha < 2$,be a point. $A$ straight line drawn through $H$ parallel to the $y$-axis crosses the ellipse and its auxiliary circle at points $E$ and $F$ respectively,in the first quadrant. The tangent to the ellipse at the point $E$ intersects the positive $x$-axis at a point $G$. Suppose the straight line joining $F$ and the origin makes an angle $\phi$ with the positive $x$-axis.
