    The point on X-axis, which is equidistant from points Q and R is:

    A)  \[\left( \frac{11}{2},0 \right)\]

    B)  \[(5,0)\]

    C)  \[(6,0)\]

    D)  \[(5,3)\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Let point on X-axis be \[P(x,0)\]
    Then\[{{(QP)}^{2}}={{(PR)}^{2}}\]
    \[\therefore \,\,\,\,\,\,\,{{(x-2)}^{2}}+{{(0-3)}^{2}}={{(9-x)}^{2}}+{{(3-0)}^{2}}\]
    \[\Rightarrow \,\,{{x}^{2}}+4-4x+9=81+{{x}^{2}}-18x+9\]
    \[\Rightarrow \,\,\,\,14x=77\,\,\,\,\Rightarrow \,\,\,x=\frac{11}{2}\]
    \[\therefore \]  Point on X- axis \[\left( \frac{11}{2},0 \right)\],
    So, option [a] is correct.
