  1. A a circle
  2. B a circle with fixed points as ends of a diameter
  3. C a pair of non parallel lines
  4. D a pair of parallel lines
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) a pair of parallel lines

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Let \(C\) be the variable point and \(A ; B\) be two fixed points. Area of \(\triangle \mathrm{ABC}=\frac{1}{2} \times \mathrm{AB} \times\) Height As \(A B\) is fixed. So, for constant area height should remain same, which is only possible if C moves on a line parallel to…
