Answer»

(A) → (s), (B) → (p), (C) (t), (D) → (q)

Explanation :

(A) → (s)

(A) The distance of a point from z-axis is √(x2 + y2). The distance of the point from xy-plane is |z|. Therefore x2 + y2 = z2 or x2 + y2 − z2 = 0

(B) Since the sphere touches yz-plane, its radius is |x|. Hence, the equation of the sphere is 

(x - 3)2 + (y + 1)2 + (z - 2)2 = 32

x2 + y2 + z2 - 6x + 2y - 4z + 5 = 0

(C) The locus is

(x - 2)2 + (y + 1)2 + (z - 3)2 = 16

x2 + y2 + z2 -4x + 2y - 6z - 2 = 0

(D) We have

√(x2 + z2) = √((x - 2)2 + (y - 1)2 + (z + 1)2)

x2 + z2 = (x - 2)2 + (y - 1)2 + (z + 1)2

y2 - 4x - 2y + 2z + 6 = 0
