distance from origin is a multiple of distance from a line...
Can you think it through?

sir although i could not figure it out which line u were talking of[2]
but from the line u wrote "distance from origin is a multiple of distance from a line..."
hopefully it is going to be an ellipse..or sort of other similar curve
but the answer given is tht it represents a arc of a circle!

ooops my wrong....
there was a much simpler interpretation..
but i dont see why it should be a arc of a circle... not a circle itself! :O
just divide by root 3
to get the equation of a circle in standard form

hmm...i was unable to figure out why should it not represent the "complete" cirle but just an arc....but then i started thinking the "other way"...how would i ever represent a given arc by an equation.....maybe tht line of thought would salvage the situation!!!...but after thinking for 10 mins. i got it i won't be figuring it out!...hopefully u might be able to conclude something out of this "backside work".."how would we represent equation of an arc"!

thank you sir got that we need some external condition!
