Q40 / 67 · NEST (NISER) 2022 (Session 2) · Mathematics

Consider the set of lines in the plane at a unit distance from origin and intersecting both $X$-axis and $Y$-axis. Let $S$ be the set of mid points of segments of these lines joining their point of intersection with $X$-axis and $Y$-axis. Then $S$ is

  • Correct answer
    A
    $\left\{(x, y): \frac{1}{x^2}+\frac{1}{y^2}=4\right\}$.
  • B
    $\left\{(x, y): \frac{1}{x^2}-\frac{1}{y^2}=4\right\}$
  • C
    $\left\{(x, y): x^2+y^2=4\right\}$.
  • D
    $\left\{(x, y): y^2=4 x\right\}$

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'A'.
