If $(l, m)$ is the circumcentre of an equilateral triangle inscribed in the ellipse $\frac{x^2}{a^2}+\frac{y^2}{b^2}=1$ having vertices at points with eccentric angles $\theta_1, \theta_2$ and $\theta_3$,then $\frac{2}{3}\left[\cos \left(\theta_1-\theta_2\right)+\cos \left(\theta_2-\theta_3\right)+\cos \left(\theta_3-\theta_1\right)\right]=$

In an ellipse,the distance between its foci is $6$ and the length of the minor axis is $8$. Then its eccentricity is

Let $F_1$ and $F_2$ be the foci of an ellipse $\frac{x^2}{4} + \frac{y^2}{9} = 1$. $A$ ray from $F_1$ strikes the elliptical mirror at point $P$ and is reflected. What is the equation of the angle bisector of the angle between the incident ray and the reflected ray?

Assertion $(A)$: The image of $\frac{x^2}{25}+\frac{y^2}{16}=1$ in the line $x+y=10$ is $\frac{(x-10)^2}{16}+\frac{(y-10)^2}{25}=1$.
Reason $(R)$: The image of a curve '$C$' in a line $L$ is the locus of the image of every point of $C$ with respect to the line $L$.
