A point moves so that it is always 4 cm from a fixed point O and equidistant from two perpendicular lines through O. Describe the locus and state how many such points there are.

Original Khojo Papers practice question — not from a past board paper.
The first locus is the bisector of angle P and the second is an arc of a circle of radius 3 cm centred at Q; the required points are where the arc crosses the bisector.
No citable source has been recorded for this record. Treat it as practice material, not as fact.
Each condition gives a locus, and the points satisfying both conditions are the intersections of the two loci.

Construct a triangle ABC with AB = 6 cm, BC = 5 cm and AC = 4 cm. Then construct the locus of points equidistant from A and B, and the locus of points equidistant from AB and AC. Mark the point P where the two loci meet.
