Question 19:

The reflection of the point about the line is

(A)

(B)

(C)

(D)

The correct choice is (A) . Let be the point of reflection of the given point about the line . The mid-point of the line segment joining points and is given by

This point lies on the given line, so we have

Or

Again the slope of the line joining points and is given by . This line is perpendicular to the given line and hence

This gives

or

On solving (1) and (2) , we get and . Thus the point is the reflection of the given point.

Question 20:

A point moves such that its distance from the point is half that of its distance from the line . The locus of the point is

(A)

(B)

(C)

(D) None of these

The correct choice is (A) . Let (h, k) be the coordinates of the moving point. Then, we have

or

Hence, the required locus is given by
