Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(y^2+z^2-6 y-8 z+25=0\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given points are \(A(2,3,4)\) and \(B(-2,3,4)\) and \(A B=4\). Now let point \(P(x, y, z)\), such that \(P A+P B=4=A B\) means point \(P\) is collinear with points \(A\) and \(B\) and lies between them, so…
