If PP and QQ are fixed points and XX is a point which moves so that XP=XQXP = XQ, the locus of XX is

Worked solution (try it first)
  1. XP=XQXP = XQ means XX is always the same distance from PP as from QQ.
  2. Such points lie on the line through the mid-point of PQPQ at right angles to it.
  3. So the locus is the perpendicular bisector of PQPQ, option D.
