\(\mathrm{A}(5,3), \mathrm{B}(3,-2), \mathrm{C}(2,-1)\) are three points. If \(\mathrm{P}\) is a variable point such that the area of the quadrilateral \(\mathrm{PABC}\) is 10 sq. units, then the locus of \(\mathrm{P}\) is

  1. A \(16 x^2-24 x y+9 y^2-144 x+108 y-76=0\)
  2. B \(16 x^2-24 x y+9 y^2+144 x-108 y-76=0\)
  3. C \(16 x^2-24 x y+9 y^2-144 x+108 y+76=0\)
  4. D \(16 x^2-24 x y+9 y^2+144 x-108 y+76=0\)

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(16 x^2-24 x y+9 y^2-144 x+108 y-76=0\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Area \( = \frac{1}{2} |(x \cdot 3 - y \cdot 5) + (5 \cdot (-2) - 3 \cdot 3) + (3 \cdot (-1) - (-2) \cdot 2) + (2 \cdot y - (-1) \cdot x)| \) Area \( = \frac{1}{2} |(3x - 5y) + (-10 - 9) + (-3 + 4) + (2y + x)| \) Area \( = \frac{1}{2} |3x - 5y - 19 + 1 + 2y + x| \) Area…
