Let $E$ be the ellipse $\frac{x^2}{16}+\frac{y^2}{9}=1$. For any three distinct points $P, Q$ and $Q^{\prime}$ on $E$,let $M(P, Q)$ be the mid-point of the line segment joining $P$ and $Q$,and $M(P, Q^{\prime})$ be the mid-point of the line segment joining $P$ and $Q^{\prime}$. Then the maximum possible value of the distance between $M(P, Q)$ and $M(P, Q^{\prime})$,as $P, Q$ and $Q^{\prime}$ vary on $E$,is:

If the tangents drawn from a point $P$ to the ellipse $4 x^2+9 y^2-24 x+36 y=0$ are perpendicular,then the locus of $P$ is
