Let O0,0 and A0,1 be two fixed points. Then, the locus of a point P such that the perimeter of ΔAOP is 4 is
  1. 8x2+9y2-9y=18
  2. 9x2-8y2+8y=16
  3. 8x2-9y2+9y=18
  4. 9x2+8y2-8y=16

Solution


 Given, OA+PO+PA=4 

PO+PA=3 

Locus of P is ellipse with foci at O & A and major

axis 2b=3

Distance between foci =2be=1e=13

Minor axis 2a=2b1-e2=3.223=22

Equation of Locus of P is :

x28+y-1229=14

By simplifying the above equation, we get

9x2+8y2-8y=16
