उत्तर
Construction: Join PQ which meets AB in D.
Proof: P is equidistant from A and B.
∴ P lies on the perpendicular bisector of AB.
Similarly, Q is equidistant from A and B.
∴ Q lies on perpendicular bisector of AB.
∴ P and Q both lie on the perpendicular bisector of AB.
∴ PQ is perpendicular bisector of AB.
Hence, locus of the points which are equidistant from two fixed points, is a perpendicular bisector of the line joining the fixed points.
