Question:medium
The line segment joining \( (5,0) \) and \( (10\cos\theta, 10\sin\theta) \) is divided internally in the ratio \(2:3\) at \(P\). If \(\theta\) varies, then the locus of \(P\) is
The line segment joining \( (5,0) \) and \( (10\cos\theta, 10\sin\theta) \) is divided internally in the ratio \(2:3\) at \(P\). If \(\theta\) varies, then the locus of \(P\) is
Show Hint
Whenever trigonometric parameters appear as \(a\cos\theta, a\sin\theta\), expect a circle after elimination.
