The set of points P(x, y) such that their distance from (3, 0) is √ 2 times their distance from (0, 2) form a circle-
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
A
The prescribed condition gives
(x – 3)2 + y2 = 2 {x2 + (y – 2)2}
i.e., x2 + y2 + 6x – 8y – 1 = 0 which is a circle with centre (–3, 4) and radius = 
= 
> 5
