$P (x, y)$ moves such that the area of the triangle formed by $P, Q (a , 2 a)$ and $R (- a, - 2 a)$ is equal to the area of the triangle formed by $P, S (a, 2 a)\,\,\, \&\,\, \,T (2 a, 3 a)$. The locus of $'P'$ is a straight line given by :

  • A

    $3x - y = a$

  • B

    $(A)$ or $(C)$ both

  • C

    $y = 2ax$

  • D

    $5x - 3y + a = 0$
