A rod of length 2l slides with its ends on two perpendicular lines, then the locus of its mid-point is
Options
- Ax^2+y^2=l^2
- Bx^2-y^2=l^2
- C2x^2+2y^2=l^2
- D2x^2-2y^2=l^2
Correct answer
A. x^2+y^2=l^2
Step-by-step solution
Based on given information, diagram is drawn. Let D be the point on rod. Let x=2 and y=2 In A O B , aligned x^2+y^2 & =(2 l)^2 (2 )^2+(2 )^2 & =4 l^2 ^2+ ^2 & =l^2 x^2 4 + y^2 4 & =l^2 aligned x^2+y^2=4 l^2 array l x=2 =x / 2 y=2 =y / 2 array .
