Given two points A and B. If area of triangle ABC is constant then locus of point C in space is

A

sphere

B

cone

C

cylinder

D

None of these

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Points A and B are given and area of triangle ABC is constant.
`therefore` Distance of vertex C from the base AB is constant.
`therefore` All such points lies on infinite lines parallel to AB at constant distance.
These infinte lines from cylinder in space.
