Three Dimensional Geometry Class 12th Chapter 11-Miscellaneous Exercise

Question:1 Show that the line joining the origin to the point (2, 1, 1) is perpendicular to the line determined by the points (3, 5, – 1), (4, 3, – 1).

Answer:

We can assume the line joining the origin, be OA where O(0,0,0) and the point A(2,1,1) and PQ be the line joining the points P(3,5,-1) and Q(4,3,-1) .

Then the direction ratios of the line OA will be (2-0),(1-0),\ and\ (1-0) = 2,1,1 and that of line PQ will be

(4-3),(3-5),\ and\ (-1+1) = 1,-2,0

So to check whether line OA is perpendicular to line PQ then,

Applying the relation we know,

a_{1}a_{2}+b_{1}b_{2}+c_{1}c_{2} = 0

\Rightarrow 2(1)+1(-2)+1(0) = 2-2+0 = 0

Therefore OA is perpendicular to line PQ.

Question:2 If l 1 , m 1 , n 1 and l 2 , m 2 , n 2 are the direction cosines of two mutually perpendicular lines, show that the direction cosines of the line perpendicular to both of these are m_{1}n_{2}-m_{2}n_{1}, n_{1}l_{2}-n_{2}l_{1},l_{1}m_{2}-l_{2}m_{1} .

Answer:

Given that l_1,m_1,n_1\ and\ l_2,m_2,n_2 are the direction cosines of two mutually perpendicular lines.

Therefore, we have the relation:

l_{1}l_{2}+m_{1}m_{2}+n_{1}n_{2} = 0 .........................(1)

l_{1}^2+m_{1}^2+n_{1}^2 =1\ and\ l_{2}^2+m_{2}^2+n_{2}^2 =1 .............(2)

Now, let us assume l,m,n be the new direction cosines of the lines which are perpendicular to the line with direction cosines. l_1,m_1,n_1\ and\ l_2,m_2,n_2

Therefore we have, ll_{1}+mm_{1}+nn_{1} = 0 \and\ ll_{2}+mm_{2}+nn_{2} = 0

Or, \frac{l}{m_{1}n_{2}-m_{2}n_{1}} = \frac{m}{n_{1}l_{2}-n_{2}l_{1}} = \frac{n}{l_{1}m_{2}-l_{2}m_{1}}

\Rightarrow \frac{l^2}{(m_{1}n_{2}-m_{2}n_{1})^2} = \frac{m^2}{(n_{1}l_{2}-n_{2}l_{1})^2} = \frac{n^2}{(l_{1}m_{2}-l_{2}m_{1})^2}

\Rightarrow \frac{l^2+m^2+n^2}{(m_{1}n_{2}-m_{2}n_{1})^2 +(n_{1}l_{2}-n_{2}l_{1})^2+(l_{1}m_{2}-l_{2}m_{1})^2} ......(3)

So, l,m,n are the direction cosines of the line.

where, l^2+m^2+n^2 =1 ........................(4)

Then we know that,

\Rightarrow (l_{1}^2+m_{1}^2+n_{1}^2)(l_{2}^2+m_{2}^2+n_{2}^2) - (l_{1}l_{2}+m_{1}m_{2}+n_{1}n_{2})^2

= (m_{1}n_{2}-m_{2}n_{1})^2 + (n_{1}l_{2}-n_{2}l_{1})^2+(l_{1}m_{2}-l_{2}m_{1})^2

So, from the equation (1) and (2) we have,

(1)(1) -(0) =(m_{1}n_{2}-m_{2}n_{1})^2 + (n_{1}l_{2}-n_{2}l_{1})^2+(l_{1}m_{2}-l_{2}m_{1})^2

Therefore, (m_{1}n_{2}-m_{2}n_{1})^2 + (n_{1}l_{2}-n_{2}l_{1})^2+(l_{1}m_{2}-l_{2}m_{1})^2 =1 ..(5)

Now, we will substitute the values from the equation (4) and (5) in equation (3), to get

\frac{l^2}{(m_{1}n_{2}-m_{2}n_{1})^2} = \frac{m^2}{(n_{1}l_{2}-n_{2}l_{1})^2} = \frac{n^2}{(l_{1}m_{2}-l_{2}m_{1})^2} =1

Therefore we have the direction cosines of the required line as;

l =m_{1}n_{2} - m_{2}n_{1}

m =n_{1}l_{2} - n_{2}l_{1}

n =l_{1}m_{2} - l_{2}m_{1}

Question:3 Find the angle between the lines whose direction ratios are a, b, c and b – c, c – a, a – b.

Answer:

Given direction ratios a,b,c and b-c,\ c-a,\ a-b .

Thus the angle between the lines A is given by;

A = \left | \frac{a(b-c)+b(c-a)+c(a-b)}{\sqrt{a^2+b^2+c^2}.\sqrt{(b-c)^2+(c-a)^2+(a-b)^2}} \right |

\Rightarrow \cos A = 0

\Rightarrow A = \cos^{-1}(0) = 90^{\circ} a

Thus, the angle between the lines is 90^{\circ}

Question:4 Find the equation of a line parallel to x-axis and passing through the origin.

Answer:

Equation of a line parallel to the x-axis and passing through the origin (0,0,0) is itself x-axis .

So, let A be a point on the x-axis.

Therefore, the coordinates of A are given by (a,0,0) , where a\epsilon R .

Now, the direction ratios of OA are (a-0) =a,0 , 0

So, the equation of OA is given by,

\frac{x-0}{a} = \frac{y-0}{0} = \frac{z-0}{0}

or \Rightarrow \frac{x}{1} = \frac{y}{0} = \frac{z}{0} = a

Thus, the equation of the line parallel to the x-axis and passing through origin is

\frac{x}{1} = \frac{y}{0} = \frac{z}{0}

Question:5 If the coordinates of the points A, B, C, D be (1, 2, 3), (4, 5, 7), (– 4, 3, – 6) and (2, 9, 2) respectively, then find the angle between the lines AB and CD.

Answer:

Direction ratios of AB are (4-1),(5-2),(7-3) = 3,3,4

and Direction ratios of CD are (2-(-4)), (9-3), (2-(-6)) = 6,6,8

So, it can be noticed that, \frac{a_{1}}{a_{2}} = \frac{b_{1}}{b_{2}} =\frac{c_{1}}{c_{2}} = \frac{1}{2}

Therefore, AB is parallel to CD.

Thus, we can easily say the angle between AB and CD which is either 0^{\circ}\ or\ 180^{\circ} .

Question:6 If the lines \frac{x-1}{-3}=\frac{y-2}{k}=\frac{z-3}{2} and \frac{x-1}{3k}=\frac{y-1}{1}=\frac{z-6}{-5} are perpendicular, find the value of k.

Answer:

Given both lines are perpendicular so we have the relation; a_{1}a_{2}+b_{1}b_{2}+c_{1}c_{2} = 0

For the two lines whose direction ratios are known,

a_{1},b_{1},c_{1}\ and\ a_{2},b_{2},c_{2}

We have the direction ratios of the lines, \frac{x-1}{-3}=\frac{y-2}{k}=\frac{z-3}{2} and \frac{x-1}{3k}=\frac{y-1}{1}=\frac{z-6}{-5} are -3,2k,2 and 3k,1,-5 respectively.

Therefore applying the formula,

-3(3k)+2k(1)+2(-5) = 0

\Rightarrow -9k +2k -10 = 0

\Rightarrow7k=-10 or k= \frac{-10}{7}

\therefore For, k= \frac{-10}{7} the lines are perpendicular.

Question:7 Find the vector equation of the line passing through (1, 2, 3) and perpendicular to the plane \overrightarrow{r}.(\widehat{i}+2\widehat{j}-5\widehat{k})+9=0

Answer:

Given that the plane is passing through the point A (1,2,3) so, the position vector of the point A is \vec{r_{A}} = \widehat{i}+2\widehat{j}+3\widehat{k} and perpendicular to the plane \overrightarrow{r}.(\widehat{i}+2\widehat{j}-5\widehat{k})+9=0 whose direction ratios are 1,2,\ and\ -5 and the normal vector is \vec{n} = \widehat{i}+2\widehat{j}-5\widehat{k}

So, the equation of a line passing through a point and perpendicular to the given plane is given by,

\vec{l} = \vec{r} + \lambda\vec{n} , where \lambda \epsilon R

\Rightarrow \vec{l} = (\widehat{i}+2\widehat{j}+3\widehat{k}) + \lambda(\widehat{i}+2\widehat{j}-5\widehat{k})

Question:8 Find the equation of the plane passing through (a, b, c) and parallel to the plane \overrightarrow{r}.(\widehat{i}+\widehat{j}+\widehat{k})=2 .

Answer:

Given that the plane is passing through (a,b,c) and is parallel to the plane \overrightarrow{r}.(\widehat{i}+\widehat{j}+\widehat{k})=2

So, we have

The position vector of the point A(a,b,c) is, \vec{r_{A}} = a\widehat{i}+b\widehat{j}+c\widehat{k}

and any plane which is parallel to the plane, \overrightarrow{r}.(\widehat{i}+\widehat{j}+\widehat{k})=2 is of the form,

\overrightarrow{r}.(\widehat{i}+\widehat{j}+\widehat{k})=\lambda . .......................(1)

Therefore the equation we get,

( a\widehat{i}+b\widehat{j}+c\widehat{k}).(\widehat{i}+\widehat{j}+\widehat{k})=\lambda

Or, a+b+c = \lambda

So, now substituting the value of \lambda = a+b+c in equation (1), we get

\overrightarrow{r}.(\widehat{i}+\widehat{j}+\widehat{k})=a+b+c .................(2)

So, this is the required equation of the plane .

Now, substituting \vec{r} = x\widehat{i}+y\widehat{j}+z\widehat{k} in equation (2), we get

(x\widehat{i}+y\widehat{j}+z\widehat{k}).(\widehat{i}+\widehat{j}+\widehat{k})=a+b+c

Or, x+y+z = a+b+c

Question:9 Find the shortest distance between lines \overrightarrow{r}=6\widehat{i}+2\widehat{j}+2\widehat{k}+\lambda (\widehat{i}-2\widehat{j}-2\widehat{k}) and \overrightarrow{r}=-4\widehat{i}-\widehat{k}+\mu(3\widehat{i}-2\widehat{j}-2\widehat{k}) .

Answer:

Given lines are;

\overrightarrow{r}=6\widehat{i}+2\widehat{j}+2\widehat{k}+\lambda (\widehat{i}-2\widehat{j}-2\widehat{k}) and

\overrightarrow{r}=-4\widehat{i}-\widehat{k}+\mu(3\widehat{i}-2\widehat{j}-2\widehat{k})

So, we can find the shortest distance between two lines \vec{r} = \vec{a_{1}}+\lambda \vec{b_{1}} and \vec{r} = \vec{a_{1}}+\lambda \vec{b_{1}} by the formula,

d = \left | \frac{(\vec{b_{1}}\times\vec{b_{2}}).(\vec{a_{2}}-\vec{a_{1}})}{\left | \vec{b_{1}}\times\vec{b_{2}} \right |} \right | ...........................(1)

Now, we have from the comparisons of the given equations of lines.

\vec{a_{1}} = 6\widehat{i}+2\widehat{j}+2\widehat{k} \vec{b_{1}} = \widehat{i}-2\widehat{j}+2\widehat{k}

\vec{a_{2}} = -4\widehat{i}-\widehat{k} \vec{b_{2}} = 3\widehat{i}-2\widehat{j}-2\widehat{k}

So, \vec{a_{2}} -\vec{a_{1}} = (-4\widehat{i}-\widehat{k}) -(6\widehat{i}+2\widehat{j}+2\widehat{k}) = -10\widehat{i}-2\widehat{j}-3\widehat{k}

and \Rightarrow \vec{b_{1}}\times \vec{b_{2}} = \begin{vmatrix} \widehat{i} &\widehat{j} &\widehat{k} \\ 1 &-2 &2 \\ 3& -2 &-2 \end{vmatrix} = (4+4)\widehat{i}-(-2-6)\widehat{j}+(-2+6)\widehat{k}

=8\widehat{i}+8\widehat{j}+4\widehat{k}

\therefore \left | \vec{b_{1}}\times \vec{b_{2}} \right | = \sqrt{8^2+8^2+4^2} =12

(\vec{b_{1}}\times \vec{b_{2}}).(\vec{a_{2}}-\vec{a_{1}}) = (8\widehat{i}+8\widehat{j}+4\widehat{k}).(-10\widehat{i}-2\widehat{j}-3\widehat{k}) = -80-16-12 =-108 Now, substituting all values in equation (3) we get,

d = | \frac{-108}{12}| = 9

Hence the shortest distance between the two given lines is 9 units.

Question:10 Find the coordinates of the point where the line through (5, 1, 6) and (3, 4,1) crosses the YZ-plane.

Answer:

We know that the equation of the line that passes through the points (x_{1},y_{1},z_{1}) and (x_{2},y_{2},z_{2}) is given by the relation;

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

and the line passing through the points, \frac{x-5}{3-5} =\frac{y-1}{4-1} = \frac{z-6}{1-6}

\implies \frac{x-5}{-2} = \frac{y-1}{3} = \frac{z-6}{-5} = k\ (say)

\implies x=5-2k,\ y=3k+1,\ z=6-5k

And any point on the line is of the form (5-2k,3k+1,6-5k) .

So, the equation of the YZ plane is x=0

Since the line passes through YZ- plane,

we have then,

5-2k = 0

\Rightarrow k =\frac{5}{2}

or 3k+1 = 3(\frac{5}{2})+1 = \frac{17}{2} and 6-5k= 6-5(\frac{5}{2}) = \frac{-13}{2}

So, therefore the required point is \left ( 0,\frac{17}{2},\frac{-13}{2} \right )

Question : 11 Find the coordinates of the point where the line through (5, 1, 6) and (3, 4, 1) crosses the ZX-plane.

Answer:

We know that the equation of the line that passes through the points (x_{1},y_{1},z_{1}) and (x_{2},y_{2},z_{2}) is given by the relation;

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

and the line passing through the points, \frac{x-5}{3-5} =\frac{y-1}{4-1} = \frac{z-6}{1-6}

\implies \frac{x-5}{-2} = \frac{y-1}{3} = \frac{z-6}{-5} = k\ (say)

\implies x=5-2k,\ y=3k+1,\ z=6-5k

And any point on the line is of the form (5-2k,3k+1,6-5k) .

So, the equation of ZX plane is y=0

Since the line passes through YZ- plane,

we have then,

3k+1 = 0

\Rightarrow k =-\frac{1}{3}

or 5-2k = 5-2\left ( -\frac{1}{3} \right ) = \frac{17}{3} and 6-5k= 6-5(\frac{-1}{3}) = \frac{23}{3}

So, therefore the required point is \left ( \frac{17}{3},0,\frac{23}{3} \right )

Question:12 Find the coordinates of the point where the line through (3, – 4, – 5) and (2, – 3, 1) crosses the plane 2x + y + z = 7.

Answer:

We know that the equation of the line that passes through the points (x_{1},y_{1},z_{1}) and (x_{2},y_{2},z_{2}) is given by the relation;

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

and the line passing through the points, (3,-4,-5)\ and\ (2,-3,1) .

\implies \frac{x-3}{2-3} = \frac{y+4}{-3+4} = \frac{z+5}{1+5} = k\ (say)

\implies \frac{x-3}{-1} = \frac{y+4}{-1} = \frac{z+5}{6} = k\ (say)

\implies x=3-k,\ y=k-4,\ z=6k-5

And any point on the line is of the form. (3-k,k-4,6k-5)

This point lies on the plane, 2x+y+z = 7

\therefore 2(3-k)+(k-4)+(6k-5) = 7

\implies 5k-3=7

or k =2 .

Hence, the coordinates of the required point are (3-2,2-4,6(2)-5) or (1,-2,7) .

Question:13 Find the equation of the plane passing through the point (– 1, 3, 2) and perpendicular to each of the planes x + 2y + 3z = 5 and 3x + 3y + z = 0.

Answer:

Given

two planes x + 2y + 3z = 5 and 3x + 3y + z = 0.

the normal vectors of these plane are

n_1=\hat i+2\hat j+ 3\hat k

n_2=3\hat i+3\hat j+ \hat k

Since the normal vector of the required plane is perpendicular to the normal vector of given planes, the required plane's normal vector will be :

\vec n = \vec n_1\times\vec n_2

\vec n = (\hat i+2\hat j +3\hat k )\times (3\hat i + 3\hat j +\hat k)

\vec n =\begin{vmatrix} \hat i &\hat j &\hat k \\ 1 &2 &3 \\ 3& 3& 1 \end{vmatrix}=\hat i(2-9)-\hat j(1-9)+\hat k (3-6)

\vec n =-7\hat i+8\hat j-3\hat k

Now, as we know

the equation of a plane in vector form is :

\vec r\cdot\vec n=d

\vec r\cdot(-7\hat i+8\hat j-3\hat k)=d

Now Since this plane passes through the point (-1,3,2)

(-\hat i+3\hat j+2\hat k)\cdot(-7\hat i+8\hat j-3\hat k)=d

7+24-6=d

d=25

Hence the equation of the plane is

\vec r\cdot(-7\hat i+8\hat j-3\hat k)=25

Question:14 If the points (1, 1, p) and (– 3, 0, 1) be equidistant from the plane \overrightarrow{r}.(3\widehat{i}+4\widehat{j}-12\widehat{k})+13 =0 then find the value of p.

Answer:

Given that the points A(1,1,p) and B(-3,0,1) are equidistant from the plane

\overrightarrow{r}.(3\widehat{i}+4\widehat{j}-12\widehat{k})+13 =0

So we can write the position vector through the point (1,1,p) is \vec{a_{1}} = \widehat{i}+\widehat{j}+p\widehat{k}

Similarly, the position vector through the point B(-3,0,1) is

\vec{a_{2}} = -4\widehat{i}+\widehat{k}

The equation of the given plane is \overrightarrow{r}.(3\widehat{i}+4\widehat{j}-12\widehat{k})+13 =0

and We know that the perpendicular distance between a point whose position vector is \vec{a} and the plane, \vec{n} = 3\widehat{i}+4\widehat{j}-12\widehat{k} and d =-13

Therefore, the distance between the point A(1,1,p) and the given plane is

D_{1} = \frac{\left | (\widehat{i}+\widehat{j}+p\widehat{k}).(3\widehat{i}+4\widehat{j}-12\widehat{k})+13 \right |}{3\widehat{i}+4\widehat{j}-12\widehat{k}}

D_{1} = \frac{\left | 3+4-12p+13 \right |}{\sqrt{3^2+4^2+(-12)^2}}

D_{1} = \frac{\left | 20-12p \right |}{13} nbsp; .........................(1)

Similarly, the distance between the point B(-1,0,1) , and the given plane is

D_{2} = \frac{\left | (-3\widehat{i}+\widehat{k}).(3\widehat{i}+4\widehat{j}-12\widehat{k})+13 \right |}{3\widehat{i}+4\widehat{j}-12\widehat{k}}

D_{2} = \frac{\left |-9-12+13 \right |}{\sqrt{3^2+4^2+(-12)^2}}

D_{2} = \frac{8}{13} .........................(2)

And it is given that the distance between the required plane and the points, A(1,1,p) and B(-3,0,1) is equal.

\therefore D_{1} =D_{2}

\implies \frac{\left | 20-12p \right |}{13} =\frac{8}{13}

therefore we have,

\implies 12p =12

or p =1 or p = \frac{7}{3}

Question:15 Find the equation of the plane passing through the line of intersection of the planes \overrightarrow{r}.\left ( \widehat{i}+\widehat{j}+\widehat{k} \right )=1 and \overrightarrow{r}.\left (2 \widehat{i}+3\widehat{j}-\widehat{k} \right )+4=0 and parallel to x-axis.

Answer:

So, the given planes are:

\overrightarrow{r}.\left ( \widehat{i}+\widehat{j}+\widehat{k} \right )=1 and \overrightarrow{r}.\left (2 \widehat{i}+3\widehat{j}-\widehat{k} \right )+4=0

The equation of any plane passing through the line of intersection of these planes is

[\overrightarrow{r}.\left ( \widehat{i}+\widehat{j}+\widehat{k} \right )-1] + \lambda \left [ \overrightarrow{r}.\left (2 \widehat{i}+3\widehat{j}-\widehat{k} \right )+4\right ] = 0

\vec{r}.[(2\lambda+1)\widehat{i}+(3\lambda+1)\widehat{j}+(1-\lambda)\widehat{k}]+(4\lambda+1) = 0 ..............(1)

Its direction ratios are (2\lambda+1) , (3\lambda+1), and (1-\lambda) = 0

The required plane is parallel to the x-axis.

Therefore, its normal is perpendicular to the x-axis.

The direction ratios of the x-axis are 1,0, and 0.

\therefore \1.(2\lambda+1) + 0(\3\lambda+1)+0(1-\lambda) = 0

\implies 2\lambda+1 = 0

\implies \lambda = -\frac{1}{2}

Substituting \lambda = -\frac{1}{2} in equation (1), we obtain

\implies \vec{r}.\left [ -\frac{1}{2}\widehat{j}+\frac{3}{2}\widehat{k} \right ]+(-3)= 0

\implies \vec{r}(\widehat{j}-3\widehat{k})+6= 0

So, the Cartesian equation is y -3z+6 = 0

Question:16 If O be the origin and the coordinates of P be (1, 2, – 3), then find the equation of the plane passing through P and perpendicular to OP.

Answer:

We have the coordinates of the points O(0,0,0) and P(1,2,-3) respectively.

Therefore, the direction ratios of OP are (1-0) = 1, (2-0)=2,\ and\ (-3-0)=-3

And we know that the equation of the plane passing through the point (x_{1},y_{1},z_{1}) is

a(x-x_{1})+b(y-y_{1})+c(z-z_{1})=0 where a,b,c are the direction ratios of normal.

Here, the direction ratios of normal are 1,2, and -3 and the point P is (1,2,-3) .

Thus, the equation of the required plane is

1(x-1)+2(y-2)-3(z+3) = 0

\implies x+2y -3z-14 = 0

Question:17 Find the equation of the plane which contains the line of intersection of the planes \overrightarrow{r}.(\widehat{i}+2\widehat{j}+3\widehat{k})-4=0,\overrightarrow{r}.\left ( 2\widehat{i}+\widehat{j}-\widehat{k} \right )+5=0 and which is perpendicular to the plane \overrightarrow{r}.(5\widehat{i}+3\widehat{j}-6\widehat{k})+8=0

Answer:

The equation of the plane passing through the line of intersection of the given plane in \overrightarrow{r}.(\widehat{i}+2\widehat{j}+3\widehat{k})-4=0,\overrightarrow{r}.\left ( 2\widehat{i}+\widehat{j}-\widehat{k} \right )+5=0

\left [ \vec{r}.(\widehat{i}+2\widehat{j}+3\widehat{k})-4 \right ]+\lambda\left [ \vec{r}.\left ( 2\widehat{i}+\widehat{j}-\widehat{k} \right )+5 \right ] = 0

\vec{r}.[(2\lambda+1)\widehat{i}+(\lambda+2)\widehat{j}+(3-\lambda)\widehat{k}]+(5\lambda-4)= 0 ,,,,,,,,,,,,,(1)

The plane in equation (1) is perpendicular to the plane, 1633928330199 Therefore 5(2\lambda+1)+3(\lambda+2) -6(3-\lambda) = 0

\implies 19\lambda -7 = 0

\implies \lambda = \frac{7}{19}

Substituting \lambda = \frac{7}{19} in equation (1), we obtain

\implies \vec{r}.\left [ \frac{33}{19}\widehat{i}+\frac{45}{19}\widehat{j}+\frac{50}{19}\widehat{k} \right ] -\frac{41}{19} = 0

\implies \vec{r}.(33\widehat{i}+45\widehat{j}+50\widehat{k}) -41 = 0 .......................(4)

So, this is the vector equation of the required plane.

The Cartesian equation of this plane can be obtained by substituting \implies \vec{r}= (x\widehat{i}+y\widehat{j}+z\widehat{k}) in equation (1).

(x\widehat{i}+y\widehat{j}+z\widehat{k}).(33\widehat{i}+45\widehat{j}+50\widehat{k}) -41 = 0

Therefore we get the answer 33x+45y+50z -41 = 0

Question:18 Find the distance of the point (– 1, – 5, – 10) from the point of intersection of the line \overrightarrow{r}=2\widehat{i}-\widehat{j}+2\widehat{k}+ \lambda\left ( 3\widehat{i}+4\widehat{j}+2\widehat{k} \right ) and the plane \overrightarrow{r}.\left ( \widehat{i}-\widehat{j}+\widehat{k} \right )=5 .

Answer:

Given,

Equation of a line :

\overrightarrow{r}=2\widehat{i}-\widehat{j}+2\widehat{k}+ \lambda\left ( 3\widehat{i}+4\widehat{j}+2\widehat{k} \right )

Equation of the plane

\overrightarrow{r}.\left ( \widehat{i}-\widehat{j}+\widehat{k} \right )=5

Let's first find out the point of intersection of line and plane.

putting the value of \vec r into the equation of a plane from the equation from line

\left (2\widehat{i}-\widehat{j}+2\widehat{k}+ \lambda\left ( 3\widehat{i}+4\widehat{j}+2\widehat{k} \right ) \right )\cdot (\hat i-\hat j+\hat k)=5

(2+3\lambda)-(4\lambda -1)+(2+2\lambda)=5

\lambda+5=5

\lambda=0

Now, from the equation, any point p in line is

P=(2+3\lambda,4\lambda-1,2+2\lambda)

So the point of intersection is

P=(2+3*0,4*0-1,2+2*0)=(2,-1,2)

SO, Now,

The distance between the points (-1,-5,-10) and (2,-1,2) is

d=\sqrt{(2-(-1))^2+(-1-(-5))^2+(2-(-10))^2}=\sqrt{9+16+144}

d=\sqrt{169}=13

Hence the required distance is 13.

Question:19 Find the vector equation of the line passing through (1, 2, 3) and parallel to the planes \overrightarrow{r}.\left ( \widehat{i}-\widehat{j}+2\widehat{k} \right )=5 and \overrightarrow{r}.\left ( 3\widehat{i}+\widehat{j}+\widehat{k} \right )=6 .

Answer:

Given

A point through which line passes

\vec a=\hat i+2\hat j+3\hat k

two plane

\overrightarrow{r}.\left ( \widehat{i}-\widehat{j}+2\widehat{k} \right )=5 And

\overrightarrow{r}.\left ( 3\widehat{i}+\widehat{j}+\widehat{k} \right )=6

it can be seen that normals of the planes are

\vec n_1=\hat i-\hat j+2\hat k

\vec n_2=3\hat i+\hat j+\hat k
since the line is parallel to both planes, its parallel vector will be perpendicular to normals of both planes.

So, a vector perpendicular to both these normal vector is

\vec d=\vec n_1\times\vec n_2

\vec d=\begin{vmatrix} \hat i &\hat j & \hat k\\ 1 &-1 &2 \\ 3& 1 & 1 \end{vmatrix}=\hat i(-1-2)-\hat j(1-6)+\hat k(1+3)

\vec d=-3\hat i+5\hat j+4\hat k

Now a line which passes through \vec a and parallels to \vec d is

L=\vec a+\lambda\vec d

So the required line is

L=\vec a+\lambda\vec d

L=\hat i+2\hat j+3\hat k+\lambda(-3\hat i+5\hat j+4\hat k)

L=(1-3\lambda)\hat i+(2+5\lambda)\hat j+(3+4\lambda)\hat k

Questio n: 20 Find the vector equation of the line passing through the point (1, 2, – 4) and perpendicular to the two lines:

\frac{x-8}{3}=\frac{y+19}{-16}=\frac{z-10}{7} and \frac{x-15}{3}=\frac{y-29}{8}=\frac{z-5}{-5}

Answer:

Given

Two straight lines in 3D whose direction cosines (3,-16,7) and (3,8,-5)

Now the two vectors which are parallel to the two lines are

\vec a= 3\hat i-16\hat j+7\hat k and

\vec b= 3\hat i+8\hat j-5\hat k

As we know, a vector perpendicular to both vectors \vec a and \vec b is \vec a\times\vec b , so

\vec a\times\vec b=\begin{vmatrix} \hat i &\hat j &\hat k \\ 3& -16 &7 \\ 3&8 &-5 \end{vmatrix}=\hat i(80-56)-\hat j(-15-21)+\hat k(24+48)

\vec a\times\vec b=24\hat i+36\hat j+72\hat k

A vector parallel to this vector is

\vec d=2\hat i+3\hat j+6\hat k

Now as we know the vector equation of the line which passes through point p and parallel to vector d is

L=\vec p+\lambda \vec d

Here in our question, give point p = (1,2,-4) which means position vector of this point is

\vec p = \hat i +2\hat j-4\hat k

So, the required line is

L=\vec p+\lambda \vec d

L=\hat i+2\hat j-4\hat k +\lambda (2\hat i+3\hat j+6\hat k)

L=(2\lambda +1)\hat i+(2+3\lambda)\hat j+(6\lambda-4)\hat k

Question:21 Prove that if a plane has the intercepts a, b, c and is at a distance of p units from the origin, then \frac{1}{a^{2}}+\frac{1}{b^{2}}+\frac{1}{c^{2}}=\frac{1}{p^{2}} .

Answer:

The equation of plane having a, b and c intercepts with x, y and z-axis respectively is given by
\frac{x}{a}+\frac{y}{b}+\frac{z}{c}= 1
The distance p of the plane from the origin is given by
\\p = \left | \frac{\frac{0}{a}+\frac{0}{b}+\frac{0}{c}-1}{\sqrt{(\frac{1}{a})^2+(\frac{1}{b})^2(\frac{1}{c})^2}} \right |\\ \\ p = \left | \frac{-1}{\sqrt{(\frac{1}{a})^2+(\frac{1}{b})^2(\frac{1}{c})^2}} \right |\\ \\ \frac{1}{p^2}= \frac{1}{a^2}+\frac{1}{b^2}+\frac{1}{c^2}
Hence proved

Question:22 Distance between the two planes: 2x + 3y + 4z = 4 and 4x + 6y + 8z = 12 is

(A) 2 units (B) 4 units (C) 8 units (D) \frac{2}{\sqrt{29}}unit

Answer:

Given equations are
2x+3y+4z= 4 \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ -(i)
and
4x+6y+8z= 12\\ 2(2x+3y+4z)= 12\\ 2x+3y+4z = 6 \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ -(ii)
Now, it is clear from equation (i) and (ii) that given planes are parallel
We know that the distance between two parallel planes ax+by +cz = d_1 \ and \ ax+by +cz = d_2 is given by
D= \left | \frac{d_2-d_1}{\sqrt{a^2+b^2+c^2}} \right |
Put the values in this equation
we will get,
D= \left | \frac{6-4}{\sqrt{2^2+3^2+4^2}} \right |
D= \left | \frac{2}{\sqrt{4+9+16}} \right |= \left | \frac{2}{\sqrt{29}} \right |
Therefore, the correct answer is (D)

Question:23 The planes: 2x – y + 4z = 5 and 5x – 2.5y + 10z = 6 are

(A) Perpendicular (B) Parallel (C) intersect y-axis (D) passes through \left ( 0,0,\frac{5}{4} \right )

Answer:

Given equations of planes are
2x-y+4z=5 \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ -(i)
and
5x-2.5y+10z=6\\ 2.5(2x-y+4z)=6\\ 2x-y+4z= 2.4 \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ -(ii)
Now, from equation (i) and (ii) it is clear that given planes are parallel to each other
\because \frac{a_1}{a_2}=\frac{b_1}{b_2}=\frac{c_1}{c_2}\Rightarrow \frac{2}{2}= \frac{-1}{-1}=\frac{4}{4}\Rightarrow 1=1=1
Therefore, the correct answer is (B)
