- C. Whose distance from Y is always twice its distance from Y
- D. Whose distance from X is always twice its distance from Y
QUICK ANSWER…
B
SOLUTION…
The line joining two points X and Y can be bisected at the middle so that another perpendicular line passing through this middle will always be of equal distance from both points. This line which will always be of equal distance from the two points is its locus.
Now for the right answer to the above question:
- Option A is incorrect.
- Option B is correct.
- C is incorrect.
- D is not the correct answer.
