The equation of the locus of a point whose distance from XY-plane is twice its distance from Z -axis is

  1. A \(2 x^2+2 y^2-z^2=0\)
  2. B \(2 y^2+2 z^2-x^2=0\)
  3. C \(4 y^2+4 z^2-x^2=0\)
  4. D \(4 x^2+4 y^2-z^2=0\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(4 x^2+4 y^2-z^2=0\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Let the point be \( (x, y, z) \). Distance from XY-plane: \( |z| \) Distance from Z-axis: \( \sqrt{x^2+y^2} \) \( |z| = 2 \sqrt{x^2+y^2} \) \( z^2 = 4 (x^2+y^2) \) \( 4x^2+4y^2-z^2=0 \)
