Synopsis

The path traced out by a moving point under one or more given conditions is called its “Locus”.
The equation of a locus is obtained by applying the given geometrical conditions — this process is called “the equation of locus”.
The locus of a point which is equidistant from the two points $A(x_1,y_1)$ and $B(x_2,y_2)$ is the perpendicular bisector of $\overline{AB}$.
The locus of a point which is at a distance $r_1$ from the given point $(x_1,y_1)$ is a circle whose equation is $$(x-x_1)^2+(y-y_1)^2=r_1^2 .$$
Let $A(x_1,y_1),\ B(x_2,y_2)$ be two fixed points. The locus of $P$ such that $\angle APB = 90^\circ$ is a circle on the line joining $A,B$ as the ends of a diameter, and its equation is $$(x-x_1)(x-x_2)+(y-y_1)(y-y_2)=0 .$$
The locus of a point $P$ such that $PA = k\,PB$ is $$(x-x_1)^2+(y-y_1)^2=k^2\!\left[(x-x_2)^2+(y-y_2)^2\right],\qquad k\neq 1 .$$ If $k=1$ it reduces to a straight line (the perpendicular bisector).
If $A,B$ are two points then the locus of a point $P$ such that $PA^2+PB^2=k^2$ is
(i) a circle if $k\neq 0$, (ii) a straight line if $k=0$.
Let $A,B$ be two points, then the locus of $P$ such that the area of $\triangle PAB$ is $A$ is a pair of parallel lines which are parallel to $AB$ and at a distance $\dfrac{2A}{AB}$ from $AB$.
Let $A,B$ be two points, then the locus of a point $P$ such that $PA+PB=K$ is
(i) an ellipse if $K>AB$, (ii) a line segment if $K=AB$, (iii) empty set if $K
Let $A,B$ be two points, then the locus of a point $P$ such that $|PA-PB|=K$ is
(i) a hyperbola if $Kunion of two rays if $K=AB$, (iii) empty set if $K>AB$.
If $A=(a,b),\ B=(-a,b)$ then the locus of $P$ such that $PA+PB=K$ or $PA-PB=K$ is $$\frac{4x^2}{K^2}+\frac{4(y-b)^2}{K^2-4a^2}=1 .$$
If $A=(a,b),\ B=(-a,b)$ then the locus of $P$ such that $PA+PB=K$ or $PA-PB=K$ is $$\frac{4x^2}{K^2-4a^2}+\frac{4(y-b)^2}{K^2}=1 .$$
The equation of the locus of a point whose distance from the $x$-axis is twice its distance from the $y$-axis is $$|y|=2|x| .$$
The ends of a rod of length $K$ moves on two positive coordinate axes. The locus of the point on the rod, which divides it in the ratio $m:n$ is $$\frac{x^2}{m^2}+\frac{y^2}{n^2}=\frac{K^2}{(m+n)^2}\qquad\text{or}\qquad \frac{x^2}{n^2}+\frac{y^2}{m^2}=\frac{K^2}{(m+n)^2}.$$
A straight line passing through the point $(x_1,y_1)$ meets the positive coordinate axes at $A,B$. The locus of the point $P$ which divides $AB$ in the ratio $l:m$ is $$\frac{mx_1}{x}+\frac{ny_1}{y}=m+n\qquad\text{(or)}\qquad \frac{mx_1}{x}+\frac{my_1}{y}=m+n .$$
The curve represented by $$S \equiv ax^2+by^2+2hxy+2gx+2fy+c=0$$ is
(i) a circle if $a=b,\ h=0,\ g^2+f^2-ac\geq 0$

Detailed Solutions

1. Put $x = \frac{2\alpha}{3-4\alpha}$, so $\alpha = \frac{3x}{4x+2}$. Substitute into $x^2+7x+3=0$: $9x^2 + 21x(4x+2) + 3(4x+2)^2 = 0$, giving $141x^2 + 90x + 12 = 0$. So $a=141, b=90, c=12$. Sum = 243. Ans: 3

11. Solve by checking $x^2-x=2$: $x^2-x-2=0\Rightarrow x=-1, 2$. Both satisfy. Ans: 3

12. If $2+4i$ is a root, so is $2-4i$. Sum = 4 = $-b\Rightarrow b=-4$. Product = 20 = $c$. Ans: 4

14. Expand: $64-16t+t^274/13$. Ans: 2

15. $\alpha^3+\beta^3=(\alpha+\beta)^3-3\alpha\beta(\alpha+\beta)=3pq-p^3$. And $\alpha^4+\alpha^2\beta^2+\beta^4=(p^2-q)(p^2-3q)$. Ans: 4

16. $x^2-5|x|+6=0$. For $x>0$: $x^2-5x+6=0\Rightarrow x=2,3$. For $x<0$: $x^2+5x+6=0\Rightarrow x=-2,-3$. Total 4 solutions. Ans: 1

18. $x^2-6x+12$ has discriminant $36-48<0$, so irreducible over Q but reducible over C. Ans: 1

19. Common root $\alpha$, then $\frac{2a}{3}=\frac{3b}{4}=\frac{4c}{5}=\lambda$. So $a=3\lambda/2$, $b=4\lambda/3$, $c=5\lambda/4$, giving $\frac{a+b}{b+c}=34/31$. Ans: 3

20. $3x^2-16x+20>0\Rightarrow x\in(-\infty,2)\cup(10/3,\infty)$. But $(0,10/3)$ includes (2,10/3) where inequality fails. So (A) is false. (R) is true. Ans: 3

21. Imaginary roots means $b^2-4ac<0$. Minimum of $3a^2x^2+6abx+2b^2$ is $\frac{3a^2\cdot 2b^2 - (3ab)^2}{3a^2}=\frac{6a^2b^2-9a^2b^2}{3a^2}=-b^2$. Since $b^2-4ac<0\Rightarrow -b^2>-4ac$. Ans: 3

22. $\sin^2x = \frac{(k+3)\pm\sqrt{(k+3)^2+4(k+4)}}{2} = k+4$ or $-1$. So $0\le k+4\le 1\Rightarrow -4\le k\le -3$. Ans: 2
