Edited By Ravindra Pindel | Updated on Jul 12, 2022 04:59 PM IST

In this NCERT chapter you have already learned about the coordinate axes, coordinate planes, coordinate of a point, the distance between two points, and section formula in three-dimensional space. In the Class 11 Maths chapter 12 miscellaneous exercise solutions, you will get a mixture of questions from all the topics of three-dimensional geometry. As you have already done all the previous exercises of this NCERT syllabus chapter, you can start solving problems from miscellaneous exercise chapter 12 Class 11. These problems are a bit tougher than the problems from all other exercise of this chapter. These problems will check your level of understanding of the concept. You may not be able to solve these problems on your own at first. You can go through the Class 11 Maths chapter 12 miscellaneous solutions if you are finding it difficult to solve this exercise problem.

Question:1 Three vertices of a parallelogram ABCD are A(3, – 1, 2), B (1, 2, – 4) and C (– 1, 1, 2). Find the coordinates of the fourth vertex.

Answer:

Given

Three vertices of the parallelogram, ABCD are:

A(3, – 1, 2), B (1, 2, – 4) and C (– 1, 1, 2).

Let the fourth vertice be (a, b, c )

Now, As we know the concept that diagonal of the parallelogram bisect each other,

Hence here in parallelogram ABCD, the midpoint of the line segment AC will be equal to the midpoint of the line segment BD.

So,

$\left ( \frac{3-1}{2},\frac{-1+1}{2},\frac{2+2}{2} \right )=\left ( \frac{1+a}{2},\frac{2+b}{2},\frac{-4+c}{2} \right )$

On comparing both points, we get

$a=1,b=-2\:and\:c=8$

Hence the Fourth vertice of the is (1,-2,8)

Question:2 Find the lengths of the medians of the triangle with vertices A (0, 0, 6), B (0,4, 0) and (6, 0, 0).

Answer:

Given,

Three vertices of the triangle,A (0, 0, 6), B (0,4, 0)and C(6, 0, 0).

Now,

Let D be the midpoint of the AB, E be the midpoint of the BC and F be the midpoint of the AC.

Vertice of the D =

$\left ( \frac{0+0}{2},\frac{0+4}{2},\frac{6+0}{2} \right )=(0,2,3)$

Vertices of E =

$\left ( \frac{0+6}{2},\frac{4+0}{2},\frac{0+0}{2} \right )=(3,2,0)$

Vertices of the F =

$\left ( \frac{0+6}{2},\frac{0+0}{2},\frac{6+0}{2} \right )=(3,0,3)$

Now, Medians of the triangle are CD, AE, and BF

So the lengths of the medians are:

$CD=\sqrt{}$ $CD=\sqrt{(6-0)^2+(0-2)^2+(0-3)^2}=\sqrt{36+4+9}=\sqrt{49}=7$

$AE=\sqrt{(0-3)^2+(0-2)^2+(6-0)^2}=\sqrt{9+4+36}=\sqrt{49}=7$

$BF=\sqrt{(3-0)^2+(0-4)^2+(3-0)^2}=\sqrt{9+16+9}=\sqrt{34}$

Hence lengths of the median are $7,7 \:and\:\sqrt{34}$ .

Question:3 If the origin is the centroid of the triangle PQR with vertices P (2a, 2, 6), Q (– 4, 3b, –10) and R(8, 14, 2c), then find the values of a, b and c.

Answer:

Given,

Triangle PQR with vertices P (2a, 2, 6), Q (– 4, 3b, –10) and R(8, 14, 2c),

Now, As we know,

The centroid of a triangle is given by

$\left (\frac{x_1+x_2+x_3}{3},\frac{y_1+y_2+y_3}{3} ,\frac{z_1 +z_2+z_3}{3}\right )$

Where coordinates of vertices of the triangle are $(x_1,x_2,x_3),(y_1,y_2,y_3)\:and\:(z_1,z_2,z_3)$

Since Centroid of the triangle, PQR is origin =(0,0,0)

$\left (\frac{2a-4+8}{3},\frac{2+3b+14}{3},\frac{6-10+2c}{3} \right )=(0,0,0)$

On equating both coordinates, we get

$a=-2,b=\frac{-16}{3}\:and\:c=2$

Question:4 Find the coordinates of a point on y-axis which are at a distance of $5 \sqrt 2$ from the point P (3, –2, 5).

Answer:

Let the point Q be (0,y,0)

Now Given

The distance of point Q From point P = $5 \sqrt 2$

So,

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

${(3-0)^2+(-2-y)^2+(5-0)^2}=25\times 2$

$9+(2+y)^2+25=50$

$(2+y)^2=16$

$(2+y)=4\:or\:2+y=-4$

$y=2\:or\:y=-6$

The coordinates of the required point is (0,2,0) or (0,-6,0).

Question:5 A point R with x-coordinate 4 lies on the line segment joining the points P(2, –3, 4) and Q (8, 0, 10). Find the coordinates of the point R. [Hint Suppose R divides PQ in the ratio k : 1. The coordinates of the point R are given by $\left ( \frac{8k + 2 }{k+1}, \frac{-3}{k+1}, \frac{10 k + 4 }{k+1} \right )$

Answer:

Let R divides PQ in the ratio k: 1.

The coordinates of the point R are given by

$\left ( \frac{8k + 2 }{k+1}, \frac{-3}{k+1}, \frac{10 k + 4 }{k+1} \right )$

now, as given the x coordinate of the R is 4.

So,

$\frac{8k+2}{k+1}=4$

$k=\frac{1}{2}$

Hence the coordinates of R are:

$\left ( \frac{8\times\frac{1}{2} + 2 }{\frac{1}{2}+1}, \frac{-3}{\frac{1}{2}+1}, \frac{10 \times \frac{1}{2}+ 4 }{\frac{1}{2}+1} \right )=(4,-2,6)$

Question:6 If A and B be the points (3, 4, 5) and (–1, 3, –7), respectively, find the equation of the set of points P such that $PA ^2 + PB ^ 2 = k^ 2$ , where k is a constant.

Answer:

Given Points,

A (3, 4, 5) and B (–1, 3, –7),

Let the coordinates of point P be (x,y,z)

Now,

Given condition :

$PB^2=(x-(-1))^2+(y-(3))^2+(z-(-7))^2$

$PB^2=x^2+2x+1+y^2-6y+9+z^2+14z+49$

$PB^2=x^2+y^2+z^2+2x-6y+14z+59$

And

$PA^2=(x-3)^2+(y-4)^2+(z-5)^2$

$PA^2=x^2+y^2+z^2-6x-8y-10z+50$

Now, Given Condition

$PA ^2 + PB ^ 2 = k^ 2$

$x^2+y^2+z^2+2x-6y+14z+59+x^2+y^2+z^2-6x-8y-10z+50=k^2$

$2x^2+2y^2+2z^2-4x-14y+4z+109=k^2$

Hence Equation of the set of the point P is

$2x^2+2y^2+2z^2-4x-14y+4z+109=k^2$ .
