Q.

Let RS be the diameter of the circle  x2+y2=1, where S is the point (1, 0).Let P be a variable point (other than R and S) on the circle and tangents to the circle at S and P meet at the point Q. The normal to the circle at P intersects a line drawn through Q parallel to RS at point E. Then the locus of E passes through the point(s)

Circle:  x2+y2=1
    Equation of tangent at  P(cosθ,sinθ)
                              xcosθ+ysinθ=1
    Equation of normal at P
                          y=xtanθ
   Equation of tangent at S is  x=1
                        Q(1,1cosθsinθ)=Q(1,tanθ2)
 Question Image 
   Equation of the through Q and parallel to RS is  y=tanθ2
   Intersection point E of normal and  y=tanθ2
   tanθ2=xtanθ
                                            x=1tan2θ22
  Locus of  E:x=1y22  or  y2=12x
  It is satisfied by the points  (13,13)   and   (13,13)
