22 The diagram in the answer space shows the plan of a hotel lobby in the form of two
concentric circles, centre C, radii 200m and 400 m. A and B are two pillars standing on the
circumference of the larger circle.

A surveillance-camera, S, is to be fixed such that it is

I nearer to pillar B than pillar A,

II 200 m ≤ SC ≤ 400 m and
III more than 200m from B.

On the diagram, construct the appropriate loci corresponding to these conditions and shade the
region in which the surveillance-camera could be fixed.
