Solution

The correct option is C 9x2+5y228y45=0
Let the point P be (x,y)
According to question,
x2+(y2)2+x2+(y+2)2=6
x2+(y2)26=x2+(y+2)2
On squaring both sides,
x2+(y2)2+3612x2+(y2)2=x2+(y+2)2
36+y2+44y=12x2+(y2)2+y2+4+4y
364y=12x2+(y2)2+4y
368y=12x2+(y2)2
92y=3x2+(y2)2
Again on squaring both sides,
81+4y28y=9x2+9y2+3636y
9x2+5y228y45=0, which is the required locus.
