  • a circle

  • a staright line

  • a parabola

  • an ellipse


A.

a circle

Let (x1 , y1) be the point of intersection of the given lines.x1cosα + y1sinα = px1sinα - y1cosα = qOn squaring and adding, we getx12cos2α + sin2α + y1cos2α + sin2α = p2 + q2 x12 + y12 = p2 + q2Hence, locus of a point is         x2 + y2 = p2 + q2which represent the equation of circle.
