  • A
    $x-y=\frac{a}{2}$
  • B
    $x+y=a$
  • C

Starting at time $t=0$ from the origin with speed $1 \text{ m/s}$,a particle follows a two-dimensional trajectory in the $x-y$ plane so that its coordinates are related by the equation $y=\frac{x^2}{2}$. The $x$ and $y$ components of its acceleration are denoted by $a_x$ and $a_y$,respectively. Then:
$(A)$ $a_x=1 \text{ m/s}^2$ implies that when the particle is at the origin,$a_y=1 \text{ m/s}^2$
$(B)$ $a_x=0$ implies $a_y=1 \text{ m/s}^2$ at all times
$(C)$ at $t=0$,the particle's velocity points in the $x$-direction
$(D)$ $a_x=0$ implies that at $t=1 \text{ s}$,the angle between the particle's velocity and the $x$-axis is $45^{\circ}$

$A(2,0), B(0,2), C(-2,0)$ are three points. Let $a, b, c$ be the perpendicular distances from a variable point $P(x, y)$ onto the lines $AB, BC$ and $CA$ respectively. If $a, b, c$ are in arithmetic progression,then the locus of $P$ is

The locus of the point of intersection of the straight lines $\frac{x}{a} + \frac{y}{b} = K$ and $\frac{x}{a} - \frac{y}{b} = \frac{1}{K}$, where $K$ is a non-zero real variable, is given by
