A point moves such that its distance from the point $(4,\,0)$is half that of its distance from the line $x = 16$. The locus of this point is

A

$3{x^2} + 4{y^2} = 192$

B

$4{x^2} + 3{y^2} = 192$

C

${x^2} + {y^2} = 192$

D

None of these

Solution

(a)$\sqrt {{{(h – 4)}^2} + {k^2}} = \frac{1}{2}\left( {\frac{{h – 16}}{{\sqrt {{1^2} + 0} }}} \right)$
Replace $(h,k)$ by $(x,\,y)$, we get $3{x^2} + 4{y^2} = 192.$
