  • A The perpendicular bisector of XY
  • B A right-angled triangle
  • C A circle
  • D A semi circle
Correct Answer: Option D
Explanation:
Since XY is a fixed line and
XPY = 90o P is on one side of XY
P1P2P3......Pn are all possible cases where
XPY = 90o the only possible tendency is a semicircle because angles in semicircle equals 90o
