                     $${\text{ Now let the quadrilateral be ABCD}}$$
                     $${\text{Then,}}$$
                     $$AB=-i+j-k |AB|$$
                            $$=\sqrt3$$
                     $$BC= 3i-3j+3k |BC|$$ 
                            $$=3\sqrt 3$$
                     $$CD=i-j+k|CD|$$ 
                            $$=\sqrt3$$
                     $$AD=3i-3j+3k|AD|$$
                            $$=3\sqrt3$$

                     $${\text{Now dot product of AB and BC is not zero. Hence adjacent sides are not perpendicular to each other.}}$$
                     $${\text{Therefore it is not a rectangle also.}}$$
    $${\textbf{ Hence , option B is correct.}}$$
  • Question 2
    1 / -0
    Four vertices of a tetrahedron are $$(0,0,0),(4,0,0),(0,-8,0)$$ and $$(0,0,12)$$,Its centroid has the coordinates
    Solution
     the centroid of the coordinates is 
    $$\left(\dfrac {x_1+x_2+x_3+x_4}{4},\dfrac{y_1+y_2+y_3+y_4}{4},\dfrac{z_1+z_2+z_3+z_4}{4}\right)$$

    Thus by substituting the vertices we get 
    $$=\left(\dfrac{0+4+0+0}{4},\dfrac{0+0-8+0}{4},\dfrac{0+0+0+12}{4}\right)$$

    $$=\left(\dfrac{4}{4},\dfrac{-8}{4},\dfrac{12}{4}\right)$$
    $$\therefore$$ the centroid of the coordinates is $$(1,-2,3)$$
  • Question 3
    1 / -0
    In geometry, we take a point, a line and a plane as undefined terms.
    Solution
     In Geometrywe define a point as a location and no size. A line is defined as something that extends infinitely in either direction but has no width and is one dimensional while a plane extends infinitely in two dimensions.
  • Question 4
    1 / -0
    A rectangular parallelopiped is formed by drawing planes through the points $$(-1,2,5)$$ and $$(1,-1,-1)$$ and parallel to the coordinate planes. the length of the diagonal of the parallelopiped is
    Solution
    The plane forming the parallelipiped are
    $$x=-1,x=1;y=2,y=-1$$ and $$z=5,z=-1$$
    Hence, the lengths of the edges of the parallelopiped are
    $$1-\left( -1 \right) =2,\left| -1-2 \right| =3$$ and $$\left| -1-5 \right| =6$$
    $$($$ length of an edge of the parallelopiped is the distance between the parallel plane sperpendicular to the edge$$)$$
    $$\therefore$$ Length of diagonal of the parallelopiped
    $$=\sqrt { { 2 }^{ 2 }+{ 3 }^{ 2 }+{ 6 }^{ 2 } } =\sqrt { 49 } =7$$
  • Question 5
    1 / -0
    The ratio of $$yz$$-plane divide the line joining the points $$A(3, 1,- 5), B(1, 4, -6)$$ is
    Solution
    Let $$yz$$-plane divide the line segment joining the points $$A(3,1,-5)$$ & $$B(1,4,-6)$$ in the ratio $$m:n$$ 
    Then, $$(0,y,z)=\left( \dfrac { 3m+n }{ m+n } ,\dfrac { m+4n }{ m+n } ,\dfrac { -5m-6n }{ m+n }  \right) $$
    $$\Rightarrow \dfrac { 3m+n }{ m+n } =0$$
    $$\Rightarrow m:n=-1:3$$

    Ans: B
  • Question 6
    1 / -0
    Let the distance between vectors are given as follows :
    $$(i)4i +3j-6k, -2i+j-k$$  be $$\displaystyle \sqrt{k}$$
    $$(ii) -2i+3j+5k, 7i-k $$  be  $$\displaystyle m\sqrt{n}$$
    Find $$k-(m*n)$$ ?
    Solution
    (i) Distance between $$4i + 3j - 6k$$ and $$-2i + j - k$$ is given by $$\sqrt{(4 + 2)^2 + (3 - 1)^2 + (-6 + 1)^2} = \sqrt{36 + 4 + 25} = \sqrt{65}$$
    $$\Rightarrow k = 65$$

    (ii) Distance between $$-2i + 3j + 5k$$ and $$7i - k$$ would be $$\sqrt{(-2 - 7)^2 + (3)^2 + (5 + 1)^2} = \sqrt{81 + 9 + 36} = \sqrt{126} = 3\sqrt{14}$$
    $$\Rightarrow m = 3, n = 14$$

    $$\therefore k - (m*n) = 65 - (3 \times 14) = 65 - 42 = 23$$
  • Question 7
    1 / -0
    $$A, B, C$$ are three points on the axes of $$x, y$$ and $$z$$ respectively at distance $$a, b, c$$ from the origin $$O$$; then the co - ordinates of the point which is equidistant from $$A, B, C$$ and $$O$$ is
    Solution
    Let $$P$$ be the required point $$\displaystyle \left ( x,y,z \right )$$ and the point
    $$A, B, C$$ and $$O$$ are $$\displaystyle \left ( a,0,0 \right ),\left ( 0,b,0 \right ),\left ( 0,0,c \right )$$ and $$\displaystyle \left ( 0,0,0 \right )$$ ;
    We are given that $$\displaystyle PO=PA=PB=PC.$$
    Taking $$\displaystyle PO=PA$$ or $$\displaystyle PO^{2}=PA^{2},$$ we get
    $$\displaystyle x^{2}+y^{2}+z^{2}=\left ( x-a \right )^{2}+y^{2}+z^{2}$$
    $$\displaystyle 0=a^{2}-2ax$$  i.e.  $$\displaystyle x=\dfrac {a}{2}$$
    Similarly taking $$\displaystyle PO^{2}=PB^{2}$$ and $$\displaystyle PO^{2}=PC^{2},$$ we get 
    $$\displaystyle y=\dfrac {b}{2}$$ and $$\displaystyle z=\dfrac {c}{2}$$
  • Question 8
    1 / -0
    If the centroid of the tetrahedron $$OABC$$, where $$A, B ,C$$ are given by $$\displaystyle (\alpha, 5, 6), (1, \beta, 4), (3, 2, \gamma)$$ respectively be $$1, -1, 2$$, then value of $$\displaystyle \alpha^2 + \beta^2 + \gamma^2$$ equals
    Solution
    The vertices of tetrahedron are $$(0,0,0) , (\alpha , 5,6) , (1,\beta , 4) , (3,2, \gamma)$$
    The centroid of tetrahedron is $$(\frac{\alpha+4}{4},\frac{\beta+7}{4},\frac{\gamma+10}{4})$$
    Given that centroid is $$1,-1,2$$
    By equating , we get $$ \alpha=0 , \beta=-11 , \gamma=-2$$
    Since $$\alpha =0$$ , $${ \alpha  }^{ 2 }+{ \beta  }^{ 2 }+{ \gamma  }^{ 2 }={ \beta  }^{ 2 }+{ \gamma  }^{ 2 }$$
    Therefore the correct option is $$B$$
  • Question 9
    1 / -0
    Find the ratio in which the yz-plane divides the join of the points $$\displaystyle \left ( -2,4,7 \right )$$ and $$\displaystyle \left ( 3,-5,8 \right )$$ and also find the co-ordinates of the point of intersection of this line with the $$yz$$ - plane.
    Solution
    Let $$\lambda$$ be the ratio in which yz-plane divides the line joining the points $$(-2,4,7)$$ and $$(3,-5,8)$$
    The co-ordinates of any point on the line joining the two points are
    $$\displaystyle \left ( \frac{3\lambda -2}{\lambda +1},\frac{-5\lambda +4}{\lambda +1},\frac{8\lambda +7}{\lambda +1} \right )$$
    If the point is in the $$yz$$ - plane, then its $$x$$-coordinate should be zero.
    $$\therefore \displaystyle \frac{3\lambda -2}{\lambda +1}=0$$  or  $$\displaystyle 3\lambda -2=0 $$
    $$ \therefore \lambda =\dfrac{2}{3}.$$
    Hence, the required ratio is $$2:3$$ and putting $$\displaystyle \lambda =\frac{2}{3}$$, the required point is $$\displaystyle \left ( 0,\frac{2}{5},\frac{37}{5} \right ).$$
  • Question 10
    1 / -0
    Perimeter of triangle whose vertices are $$(0,4,0), (3,4,0)$$ and $$(0,4,4)$$, is
    Solution
     Vertices of triangle are $$(0,4,0),(3,4,0)$$ and $$(0,4,4)$$
    then perimeter=?
    here AB=$$\sqrt{(3-0)^2+(4-4)^2+(0-0)^2}$$
    $$=3$$
    BC$$=\sqrt{(3-0)^2+(4-4)^2+(0-4)^2}$$
    $$=\sqrt{9+16}$$
    $$=5$$
    CA$$=\sqrt{(0-0)^2+(4-4)^2+(0-4)^2}=4$$
    used distance formula b/w two points
    $$(x_1,y_1,z_1) and (x_2,y_2,z_2)$$
    $$=\sqrt{(x_2-x_2)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2+(z_2-z_1)^2}$$
    $$ perimeter =ABC+BC+CA$$
    $$=3+5+4$$
    $$=12\ units$$
