Let A = (–2, –2) and B = (2, –2) be two points and AB subtend an angle of 45º at any point P in the plane in such a way that area of Δ APB is 8 sq. unit then no. of possible position (s) of P is-
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
C
AB = 4 and area of Δ APB = 8
∴ 
× 4 × h = 8
h = 4
P lies on the circle of radius 2 
unit with AB as its chord so there a 4 possible position of P
