Detailed Solution

From the figure, since ∆OAB is an equilateral triangle,∠OAB=60∘Let T be the point of intersection of tangents. Since ∠AOC=120∘,the angle between the tangents is 60°.The locus of the point of intersection of tangents at A and C is a circle whose center is O(0, 0) and radius isOT=a cosec ⁡π6=2aSo, the locus is x2+y2=4a2.
