  1. A a straight line
  2. B a pair of straight lines
  3. C a parabola
  4. D an ellipse
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) a parabola

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Let the co-ordinates of \(P\) are \((x, y)\) According to given condition \(\begin{aligned} & (x-1)^2+(y-1)^2=\frac{(x+y+2)^2}{2} \\ & \Rightarrow \quad 2\left(x^2+1-2 x\right)+2\left(y^2+1-2 y\right) \\ & \quad=x^2+y^2+4+2 x y+4 y+4 x \end{aligned}\)…
