Equation $\sqrt {{{(x - 2)}^2} + {y^2}} + \sqrt {{{(x + 2)}^2} + {y^2}} = 4$ represents
  • A
    Parabola
  • B
    Ellipse
  • C
    Circle
  • Pair of straight lines

Answer

Correct option: D.
Pair of straight lines
d
(d) Given equation is , $\sqrt {{{(x - 2)}^2} + {y^2}} + \sqrt {{{(x + 2)}^2} + {y^2}} = 4$

$\sqrt {{{(x - 2)}^2} + {y^2}} = 4 - \sqrt {{{(x - 2)}^2} + {y^2}} $

Squaring both sides, we get $\sqrt {{{(x + 2)}^2} + {y^2}} = x + 2$

Again squaring both sides, we get ${y^2} = 0$, which is the equation of pair of straight lines.
