For points `P=(x_1,y_1)`and `Q =(x_2,y_2)` of the co-ordinate plane a new distance d(P,Q)=`|x_1-x_2|+|y_1-y_2|` is defined .Let O(0,0)and A(3,2). The set of points in first quadrant which are equidistant from O and A is

A

one straight line only

B

union of two line segments

C

union of two infinite rays

D

union of a line segment of finite length and an infinite ray

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D


Obviously, the locus of P is the union of line segment and one infinite ray.
