The equation of the locus of the point of intersection of the straight lines
xsinθ + (1 - cosθ)y = a sinθ and xsinθ - (1 + cosθ) y + a sinθ= 0 is

  • y = ± ax

  • x = ± ay

  • y2 = 4x

  • x2 + y2 = a2


D.

x2 + y2 = a2

       xsinθ + (1 - cosθ)y = a sinθ

and  xsinθ - (1 + cosθ) y = - a sinθ

On substracting, we get

              2y = 2asinθ  y = asinθand          x = acosθ x2 + y2 = a2cos2θ +a2sin2θ                  = a2
