    If the point \[(x,y)\] is equidistant from the point \[(2,1)\] and \[(1,-2),\]then:

    A) \[\text{x}+\text{3y}=0\]

    B) \[\text{3x}+\text{y}=0\]

    C) \[\text{x}+\text{2y}=0\]

    D) \[\text{3x}+\text{2y}=0\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    [a] Let the point be \[P(x,y),\]\[A(2,1)\]and \[B(1,-2).\]Since, P is equidistant from A and B.
    \[\therefore \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,AP=BP\]
    \[\Rightarrow \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,A{{P}^{2}}=B{{P}^{2}}\]
    \[\Rightarrow \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,{{(x-2)}^{2}}+{{(y-1)}^{2}}={{(x-1)}^{2}}+{{(y+2)}^{2}}\]
    \[\Rightarrow \,\,\,\,{{x}^{2}}-4x+4+{{y}^{2}}-2y+1={{x}^{2}}-2x+1+{{y}^{2}}+4y+4\]
    \[\Rightarrow \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,x+3y=0\]
