$P(x, y)$ moves such that the area of the triangle formed by $P, Q(a, 2a)$ and $R(-a, -2a)$ is equal to the area of the triangle formed by $P, S(a, 2a)$ and $T(2a, 3a)$. The locus of $P$ is a straight line given by:

  • A
    $3x - y = a$
  • B
    $x - y = a$
  • C
    $5x - 3y + a = 0$
  • D
    $5x + 3y = a$

If the equation of the locus of a point equidistant from $(a_1, b_1)$ and $(a_2, b_2)$ is $(a_1 - a_2)x + (b_1 - b_2)y + c = 0$,find the value of $c$.

$A$ $10 \text{ inches}$ long pencil $AB$ with midpoint $C$ and a small eraser $P$ are placed on the horizontal top of a table such that $PC = \sqrt{5} \text{ inches}$ and $\angle PCB = \tan^{-1}(2)$. The acute angle through which the pencil must be rotated about $C$ so that the perpendicular distance between the eraser and the pencil becomes exactly $1 \text{ inch}$ is:

There are two candles of the same length and size. Both of them burn at a uniform rate. The first one burns in $5 \, hr$ and the second one burns in $3 \, hr$. Both the candles are lit together. After how many minutes is the length of the first candle $3$ times that of the other?
