Questions  

The locus of the point which moves in a plane so that the sum of the squares of its distances from the lines ax+by+c=0  and bxay+d=0  is r2, is a circle of radius.

a
r(a2+b2)
b
r
c
ra2−b2
d
2r

detailed solution

Correct option is B

The given lines are perpendicular.  So shifting the origin to their point of intersection if (h, k)  are the new coordinates of any point on the locus then h2+k2=r2 and the locus is x2+y2=r2  which is a circle of radius r.
