Let the point be (x,y)
Hence (x-2)2 + (y-0)2 =
(x- 2)2 + y2 = (x - 9/2)
On simplifying we get the equation of an ellipse

represents
which represent generally YZ plane i.e. X=0 planeTotal number of courses available=8
Number of courses which are not compulsary=8-2=6
Since two courses are compulsory a student can choose them in different ways.
The remaining 3 courses can be chosen from the 6 non-compulsory courses in
Therefore total number of ways=.=
