  • A
    $y^2 = 16x + 4$
  • B
    $x^2 = 16y$
  • C
    $x^2 = 16y + 4$
  • D

If $P(x_1, y_1)$ is a point such that the lengths of the tangents from it to the circles $x^2+y^2-4x-6y-12=0$ and $x^2+y^2+6x+18y+26=0$ are in the ratio $2:3$,then the locus of $P$ is

Let $A(5,4)$ and $B(5,-4)$ be two points. If $P(x,y)$ is a point in the coordinate plane such that $\angle APB = \frac{\pi}{4}$,then the point $P$ lies on the curve

From a point $P$ on the circle $x^2+y^2=4$,two tangents are drawn to the circle $x^2+y^2-6x-6y+14=0$. If $A$ and $B$ are the points of contact of those lines,then the locus of the centre of the circle passing through the points $P, A$ and $B$ is
