M is the middle-point of the line joining
(ma, – λ b), (mb, – λ a). P is a variable point on the line λ x + my = n. The loci of the points of trisection of PM are-
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
A
Consider two positions P1 and P2 of P. By geometry the points of trisection of MP1 and MP2 should lie on lines parallel to the base P1P2 and this is irrespective of the points with which we start to define the fixed point M.
