Verified by ExpertsCHECK THE SOLUTION.
Sol. (i) Since,
i.e. (distance of
from the point
)
+ (distance of
from the point
(constant)
i.e. The sum of the distances of
from two fixed points
and
is constant, which is the definition of an ellipse.
Therefore, locus of
satisfying the given condition will be an ellipse with foci at
and
and centre at origin.
(ii) Given that, 
or
......(i)
Let the points
and
have affixes
and
and the point
has affix
.
Then, Eq. (i) can be written as

Thus, locus of
is such that the angle subtended at
by the line joining points
and
is
.
This is the definition of a circle with diameter
.

Therefore, locus of point
is a circle with diameter
and centre at origin with radius 1 .
(iii) We have,
represents a circle with centre at ( 2,3 ) and radius
.

Since,
represents the region in the plane outside the circle.
........(i)
and
represents the region inside circle.
........(ii)
Hence,
represent the angular space between the two circles (i) and (ii).
(iv) We have, 
Let 

The given inequality can be written as




This inequality represents the region between the lines

(v) We have, 




Hence, the inequality represents exterior of a circle of radius 10 with center at
.
