  • Question 1
    1 / -0

    What are the direction ratios of the line of intersection of the planes x = 3z + 4 and y = 2z - 3?

    Solution

    As we know,

    The equation of a line with direction ratio \((a, b, c)\) that passes through the point \(\left(x_{1}, y_{1}, z_{1}\right)\) is given by the formula,

    \(\frac{x-x_{1}}{a}=\frac{y-y_{1}}{b}=\frac{z-z_{1}}{c}\)

    If two planes intersect each other, the intersection will always be a line.

    Given,

    \(x=3 z+4\) and \(y=2 z-3 \)

    \(\Rightarrow x-4=3 z\) and \(y+3=2 z \)

    \(\Rightarrow \frac{x-4}{3}=z\) and \(\frac{y+3}{2}=z \)

    \(\Rightarrow \frac{x-4}{3}=\frac{y+3}{2}=\frac{z}{1}\)

    If two planes intersect each other, the intersection will always be a line.

    Now, direction ratios of the line are \(( 3,2,1)\).

  • Question 2
    1 / -0

    The ratio in which the line joining the points \((1,2,3)\) and \((-3,4,-5)\) is divided by the \(x y\)-plane is:

    Solution

    Let the line joining the points \(P(1,2,3)\) and \(Q(-3,4,-5)\) is divided by the \(x y\)-plane at point \(R\) in the ratio \(k: 1\).

    Now, the coordinate of \(R\) is \(x=\frac{(-3 k+1) }{(k+1)},y=\frac{(4 k+2) }{(k+1)},z=\frac{(-5 k+3) }{(k+1)}\)

    Since \(R\) lies on the \(xy\)-plane. So, z-coordinate is zero.

    \(\frac{(-5 k+3) }{(k+1)}=0\Rightarrow -5k+3=0 \)

    \(\Rightarrow -5k=-3\Rightarrow k=\frac{3 }{ 5}\)

    So, the ratio \(=\frac{3 }{ 5}: 1=3: 5\)

  • Question 3
    1 / -0

    The points \((3,2,0),(5,3,2)\) and \((-9,6,-3)\), are the vertices of a triangle \(ABC \cdot AD\) is the internal bisector of \(\angle BAC\) which meets \(BC\) at D. Then the co-ordinates of \(D\), are:

    Solution

    Given,

    AD is internal bisector of \(\angle B A C\).

    Ratio at \(D\) is \(c : b\) where

    \(c = AB =\sqrt{(3-5)^{2}+(2-3)+(0-2)^{2}}\)

    \(=\sqrt{4+1+4}\)

    \(=\sqrt{9}\)

    \(=3\)

    \(b = AC =\sqrt{(3+9)^{2}+(2-6)^{2}+(0+3)^{2}}\)

    \(=\sqrt{144+16+9}\)

    \(=\sqrt{169}\)

    \(=13\)

    For point \(D\),

    \(x =\frac{ c (-9)+ b (6)}{ c + b }=\frac{3(-9)+13(5)}{3+13}=\frac{38}{16}=\frac{19}{8}\)

    \(y =\frac{ c (6)+ b (3)}{ c + b }=\frac{3(6)+13(3)}{3+13}=\frac{57}{16}\)

    \(z =\frac{ c (-3)+ b (2)}{ c + b }=\frac{3(-3)+13(2)}{3+13}=\frac{17}{16}\)

    So, point \(D\) is \(\left[\frac{19}{8}, \frac{57}{16}, \frac{17}{6}\right]\).

  • Question 4
    1 / -0

    Find the distance between the planes 2x - 3y + 6z - 5 = 0 and 6x - 9y + 18z + 20 = 0.

    Solution

    Given,

    Two planes \(2 x-3 y+6 z-5=0\) and \(6 x-9 y+18 z+20=0\)

    The plane \(6 x-9 y+18 z+20=0\) can be re-written as \(2 x-3 y+6 z+\frac{20 }{ 3}=0\).

    So, the planes \(2 x-3 y+6 z-5=0\) and \(2 x-3 y+6 z+\frac{20 }{ 3}=0\) are parallel.

    As we know that, distance between two parallel planes \(ax +b y+c z+d_{1}=0\) and \(a x+b y+c z+d_{2}=0\) is given by,

    \(\left|\frac{d_{1}-d_{2}}{\sqrt{a^{2}+b^{2}+c^{2}}}\right|\)

    \(\therefore d_{1}=-5, d_{2}=\frac{20 }{ 3}, a=2, b=-3\) and \(c=6\)

    So, the distance between the given parallel planes \(=\left|\frac{-5-\frac{20}{3}}{\sqrt{2^{2}+(-3)^{2}+6^{2}}}\right|\)

    \(=\left|\frac{\frac{-15-20}{3}}{\sqrt{4+9+36}}\right|\)

    \(=\left|\frac{\frac{-35}{3}}{\sqrt{49}}\right|\)

    \(=\left|\frac{-35}{7\times 3}\right|\)

    \(=\frac{5}{3}\) units

  • Question 5
    1 / -0

    The equation of the plane containing the line \(2 x-5 y+z=3, x+y+4 z=\) 5 and parallel to the plane \(x+3 y+6 z=1\) is:

    Solution
    Let the equation of the plane is:
    \((2 x-5 y+z-3)+\lambda(x+y+4 z-5)=0 \)
    \(\Rightarrow(2+\lambda) x+(\lambda-5) y+(4 \lambda+1) z-(3+5 \lambda)=0\)
    Since the plane is parallel to \(x+3 y+6 z-1=0\)
    \(\therefore\frac{(2+\lambda) }{ 1}=\frac{(\lambda-5) }{ 3}=\frac{(1+4 \lambda) }{ 6} \)
    Considering first two equalities, we get
    \( 6+3 \lambda=\lambda-5 \)
    \(\Rightarrow 2 \lambda=-11 \)
    \(\Rightarrow \lambda=\frac{-11}{ 2}\)
    Considering the last two equalities, we get
    \(6 \lambda-30=3+12 \lambda \)
    \(\Rightarrow-6 \lambda=-33 \)
    \(\Rightarrow \lambda=\frac{-33 }{ 6} \)
    \(\Rightarrow \lambda=\frac{-11}{ 2}\)
    So, the required equation of plane is:
    \((2 x-5 y+z-3)+(\frac{-11 }{ 2}) \times(x+y+4 z-5)=0 \)
    \(\Rightarrow 2(2 x-5 y+z-3)+(-11) \times(x+y+4 z-5)=0 \)
    \(\Rightarrow 4 x-10 y+2 z-6-11 x-11 y-44 z+55=0 \)
    \(\Rightarrow-7 x-21 y-42 z+49=0 \)
    \(\Rightarrow x+3 y+6 z-7=0\)
  • Question 6
    1 / -0

    The equation of the set of points which are equidistant from the points (1, 2, 3) and (3, 2, −1) is:

    Solution

    Let the given points be \(A (1,2,3)\) and \(B (3,2,-1)\) and let the point equidistant from \(A\) and \(B\) be \(P ( x , y , z )\).

    \(\therefore P A=P B\)

    \(\Rightarrow \sqrt{( x -1)^{2}+( y -2)^{2}+( z -3)^{2}}=\sqrt{( x -3)^{2}+( y -2)^{2}+( z +1)^{2}}\)

    Squaring both sides, we get

    \(( x -1)^{2}+( y -2)^{2}+( z -3)^{2}=( x -3)^{2}+( y -2)^{2}+( z +1)^{2} \)

    \( \Rightarrow x ^{2}+1-2 x + z ^{2}+9-6 z = x ^{2}+9-6 x + z ^{2}+1+2 z \)

    \(\Rightarrow -2 x -6 z +10=-6 x +2 z +10 \)

    \(\Rightarrow -2 x+6x-6z-2z+10-10=0\)

    \(\Rightarrow 4 x -8 z =0 \)

    \(\Rightarrow 4( x -2 z) =0 \)

    \(\Rightarrow x -2 z =0\)

  • Question 7
    1 / -0

    The distance between the \(x\)-axis and the point \((3,12,5)\) is:

    Solution

    Let point on \(x\)-axis be \(P(3,0,0)\) and the other point be \(Q(3,12,5)\).

    As we know,

    Distance between two point \(=\sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^{2}+(y_2- y_1)^{2}+(z_2- z_1 )^{2}}\)

    The distance between the \(x\)-axis and point \((3,12,5)=\) Distance between \(PQ\)

    \(=\sqrt{(3-3)^{2}+(12-0)^{2}+(5-0)^{2}} \)

    \(=\sqrt{0^{2}+12^{2}+5^{2}}\)

    \(=\sqrt{144+25} \)

    \(=\sqrt{169}\)

    \(=13\)

    So, the distance between the \(x\)-axis and point \((3,12,5)\) is \(13\).

  • Question 8
    1 / -0

    In a three dimensional space, the equation 3x – 4y = 0 represents:

    Solution

    Given,

    Equation is 3x – 4y = 0.

    Here z = 0

    So, the given equation 3x – 4y = 0 represents a plane containing Z-axis.

  • Question 9
    1 / -0

    P is a point on the line segment joining the points (3, 2, -1) and (6, -4, -2). If x coordinate of P is 5, then its y coordinate is:

    Solution

    As we know,

    Equation of line joining two points \(\left(x_{1}, y_{1}, z_{1}\right)\) and \(\left(x_{2}, y_{2}, z_{2}\right)\) is given as,

    \(\frac{x-x_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}=\frac{y-y_{1}}{y_{2}-y_{1}}=\frac{z-z_{1}}{z_{2}-z_{1}}\)

    A point lie on the line only when its coordinates satisfy the equation of line.

    Given,

    \(P=(5, y, z)\)

    Equation of line joining \((3,2,-1)\) and \((6,-4,-2)\) is

    \(\frac{x-3}{6-3}=\frac{y-2}{-4-2}=\frac{z+1}{-2+1}\)

    \(\Rightarrow \frac{x-3}{3}=\frac{y-2}{-6}=\frac{z+1}{-1}\)

    So, if point \(P\) lie on the line then it must satisfy the above equation.

    \(\therefore \frac{5-3}{3}=\frac{y-2}{-6}=\frac{z+1}{-1} \)

    \(\Rightarrow \frac{5-3}{3}=\frac{y-2}{-6}\)

    \(\Rightarrow \frac{2}{3}=\frac{y-2}{-6}\)

    \(\Rightarrow \frac{2\times-6}{3}=y-2\)

    \(\Rightarrow -4+2=y\)

    \(\therefore y=-2\)

    So, y coordinate of \(P\) is \(-2\).

  • Question 10
    1 / -0

    If the endpoints of a diagonal of a square are (1, -2, 3) and (2, -3, 5) then the length of the side of a square is:

    Solution

    Let \(a\) is the length of the side of a square.

    Given,

    The diagonal of a square are \((1,-2,3)\) and \((2,-3,5)\).

    Now, length of the diagonal of square \(=\sqrt{1-2)^{2}+(-2+3)^{2}+(3-5)^{2}}\)

    \(=\sqrt{ 1+1+4}\)

    \(=\sqrt{6}\)

    As we know,

    Length of diagonal of square \(=a\sqrt{2}\) (where \(a=\) side of square)

    \(\therefore a\sqrt{2}=\sqrt{6} \)

    \(\Rightarrow a \sqrt{2}=\sqrt{3} \times \sqrt{2} \)

    \(\Rightarrow a=\sqrt{3}\)

    So, the length of the side of the square is \(\sqrt{3}\) unit.
