Detailed Solution

Let the equation of ellipse be x2a2+y2b2=1 then equation of its auxiliary circle will be x2+y2=a2

Let Coordinates of P and Q are (acosϕ,bsinϕ) and (acosϕ,asinϕ) respectively. 

Equation of normal at P to the ellipse x2a2+y2b2=1 is axsecϕ-bycosecϕ=a2-b2

and equation of normal at Q to the circle x2+y2=a2 is y=xtanϕ

  tanϕ=yx

So, cosecϕ=x2+y2y and secϕ=x2+y2x

Substituting the values of secϕ and cosecϕ in equation of normal we get ,ax×x2+y2x-by×x2+y2y=a2-b2

(a-b)x2+y2=(a+b)(a-b)

x2+y2=a+b

Squaring both sides we get, x2+y2=(a+b)2 which is required locus.

Hence option-1 is the correct answer.
