    The point P on X-axis equidistant from the points \[A(-1,0)\] and \[B(5,0)\] is:

    A) \[(2,0)\]

    B) \[(0,2)\]

    C) \[(3,0)\]

    D) \[(2,2)\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    [a] Let required point be \[P(x,0)\]
    \[\therefore \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,AP=BP\]
    \[\Rightarrow \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,A{{P}^{2}}=B{{P}^{2}}\]
    \[\Rightarrow \,\,{{(x+1)}^{2}}+{{(0-0)}^{2}}={{(x-5)}^{2}}+{{(0-0)}^{2}}\]
    \[\Rightarrow \,\,{{x}^{2}}+1+2x+0={{x}^{2}}+25-10x+0\]
    \[\Rightarrow \,\,\,\,12x=24\]
    \[\Rightarrow \,\,\,\,x=2\]
    \[\therefore \,\,\,\,\,P\equiv (2,0)\]
