Hint: Position vector of the mid point
Given : ABCD is a Parallelogram
Solution:
We know that the position vector of the mid-point of

\begin{aligned} \vec{a} \end{aligned}

and is

\begin{aligned} \vec{b} \end{aligned}

\frac{\vec{a} + \vec{b}}{2}

Let the position vector of D be

x \hat{i} + y \hat{j} + z \hat{k}

Position vector of mid-point of A and C = Position vector of mid-point of B and D

\begin{aligned} \frac{(4 \hat{i} + 5 \hat{j} - 10 \hat{k}) + (- \hat{i} + 2 \hat{j} + \hat{k})}{2} = \frac{(2 \hat{i} - 3 \hat{j} + 4 \hat{k}) + (x \hat{i} + y \hat{j} + z \hat{k})}{2} \\ \Rightarrow \frac{3}{2} \hat{i} + \frac{7}{2} \hat{j} - \frac{9}{2} \hat{k} = (\frac{x + 2}{2}) \hat{i} + (\frac{- 3 + y}{2}) \hat{j} + (\frac{4 + z}{2}) \hat{k} \end{aligned}

Comparing the coefficients of

\hat{i}, \hat{j}

\hat{k}

we get

\begin{aligned} (\frac{x + 2}{2}) = \frac{3}{2} \\ \Rightarrow x = 1 \\ \frac{- 3 + y}{2} = \frac{7}{2} \\ \Rightarrow y = 10 \\ \frac{4 + z}{2} = - \frac{9}{2} \\ \Rightarrow z = - 13 \end{aligned}

Position vector of point

D = \hat{i} + 10 \hat{j} - 13 \hat{k}

. The vector equation of line BD passing through the points with position vectors

\vec{a} (B) a n d \vec{b} (D)

\vec{r} = \vec{a} + λ (\vec{b} - \vec{a})

Here,

\begin{aligned} \vec{a} = 2 \hat{i} - 3 \hat{j} + 4 \hat{k} \\ \vec{b} = \hat{i} + 10 \hat{j} - 13 \hat{k} \end{aligned}

Vector equation of the required line is

\begin{aligned} \vec{r} = (2 \hat{i} - 3 \hat{j} + 4 \hat{k}) + λ {(\hat{i} + 10 \hat{j} - 13 \hat{k}) - (2 \hat{i} - 3 \hat{j} + 4 \hat{k})} \\ \Rightarrow \vec{r} = (2 \hat{i} - 3 \hat{j} + 4 \hat{k}) + λ (- \hat{i} + 13 \hat{j} - 17 \hat{k}) \end{aligned}

………….. (1)
Here,

λ

is a parameter.
Reducing (1) to Cartesian form, we get

\begin{aligned} x \hat{i} + y \hat{j} + z \hat{k} = (2 \hat{i} - 3 \hat{j} + 4 \hat{k}) + λ (- \hat{i} + 13 \hat{j} - 17 \hat{k}) [Putting \vec{r} = x \hat{i} + y \hat{j} + z \hat{k} in (1)] \\ \Rightarrow x \hat{i} + y \hat{j} + z \hat{k} = (2 - λ) \hat{i} + (- 3 + 13 λ) \hat{j} + (4 - 17 λ) \hat{k} \end{aligned}

Comparing the coefficients of

\hat{i}, \hat{j}

\hat{k}

we get

\begin{aligned} x = 2 - λ, y = - 3 + 13 λ, z = 4 - 17 λ \\ \Rightarrow \frac{x - 2}{- 1} = λ, \frac{y + 3}{13} = λ, \frac{z - 4}{- 17} = λ \\ \Rightarrow \frac{x - 2}{- 1} = \frac{y + 3}{13} = \frac{z - 4}{- 17} = λ \\ \Rightarrow \frac{x - 2}{1} = \frac{y + 3}{- 13} = \frac{z - 4}{17} = - λ \end{aligned}

Hence, the Cartesian form of (1) is

\frac{x - 2}{1} = \frac{y + 3}{- 13} = \frac{z - 4}{17}

Straight Line in Space exercise 27.1 question 11

Answer :-

\frac{- 2}{7}, \frac{6}{7}, - \frac{3}{7}; \vec{r} = (4 \hat{ı} + \hat{k}) + λ (- 2 \hat{ı} + 6 \hat{ȷ} - 3 \hat{k})

Hint :-

\vec{r} = x \hat{ı} - y \hat{ȷ} + z \hat{k}

Given :-

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

Solution :-

\begin{aligned} \frac{4 - x}{2} = \frac{y}{6} = \frac{1 - z}{3} \\ \Rightarrow & \frac{x - 4}{- 2} = \frac{y}{6} = \frac{z - 1}{- 3} \end{aligned}

Direction ratios are (-2 , 6 , -3)

\begin{aligned} \frac{x - b}{a} = y = \frac{z - d}{c} \\ \frac{x - b}{a} = \frac{y - 0}{1} = \frac{z - d}{c} \end{aligned}

D.R = ( a , 1 , c)
Let

\frac{x - b}{a} = y = \frac{z - d}{c} = λ (s a y)

\Rightarrow x = a λ + b, y = λ, z = c λ + d

Straight Line in Space exercise 27.1 question 14

Answer :-

(x, y, z) = (- 2, - 1, 3) o r (4, 3, 7)

Hint :-
Distance Formula :

\sqrt{{(x_{1 -} x_{2})}^{2} + {(y_{1 -} y_{2})}^{2} + {(z_{1 -} z_{2})}^{2}}

Given :-
Point are P (1 , 3 , 3)
And line are

\frac{x + 2}{3} = \frac{y + 1}{2} = \frac{z - 3}{2}

Solution :-

\frac{x + 2}{3} = \frac{y + 1}{2} = \frac{z - 3}{2}

-------- (1)
Let the point be

x_{1}, y_{1}, z_{1}

∴ \frac{x + 2}{3} = \frac{y + 1}{2} = \frac{z - 3}{2} = λ (s a y)

x_{1} = 3 λ - 2

y_{1} = 2 λ - 1

z_{1} = 2 λ + 3

The distance of

(x_{1}, y_{1}, z_{1})

and P (1 , 3 , 3) = 5

\sqrt{(3 λ - 2 - 1)^{2} + (2 λ - 1 - 3)^{2} + (2 λ + 3 - 3)^{2}} = 5

Squaring both sides

\begin{aligned} (3 λ - 3)^{2} + (2 λ - 4)^{2} + (2 λ)^{2} = 25 \\ \Rightarrow 9 λ^{2} - 18 λ + 9 + 4 λ^{2} - 16 λ + 16 + 4 λ^{2} = 25 \\ \Rightarrow 17 λ^{2} - 34 λ = 0 \\ \Rightarrow 17 λ (λ - 2) = 0 \\ λ = 0, λ = 2 \end{aligned}

∴ when

λ = 0

Straight Line in Space exercise 27.1 question 15

Answer :- The points are collinear
Hint :-

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

Given :-
P.V are

2 \hat{ı} + 3 \hat{ȷ}, \hat{ı} + 2 \hat{ȷ} + 3 \hat{k}, 7 \hat{ı} + 9 \hat{k}

Solution :-
The points of P.V

2 \hat{ı} + 3 \hat{ȷ}, \hat{ı} + 2 \hat{ȷ} + 3 \hat{k}, 7 \hat{ı} + 9 \hat{k}

are (-2 , 3 , 0) , (1 , 2 , 3) , (7 , 0 , 9)
The equation of the line passing through the point (-2,3,0) and (1 , 2 , 3) are

\begin{aligned} \frac{x + 2}{1 + 2} = \frac{y - 3}{2 - 3} = \frac{z - 0}{3 - 0} \\ \Rightarrow \frac{x + 2}{3} = \frac{y - 3}{- 1} = \frac{z - 0}{3} \end{aligned}

----- (1)
Putting (7 , 0 , 9) in (1) , we get

\begin{aligned} \frac{7 + 2}{3} = \frac{0 - 3}{- 1} = \frac{9}{3} \end{aligned}

\Rightarrow 3, 3, 3

Since ( 7 , 0 , 9) satisfying equation (1)
Hence it is collinear.

Straight Line in Space exercise 27.1 question 16

Answer :-

\begin{aligned} \frac{x - 1}{- 2} = \frac{y - 2}{14} = \frac{z - 3}{3} \\ (\hat{ı} + 2 \hat{ȷ} + 3 \hat{k}) + λ (\hat{- 2} ı + 14 \hat{ȷ} + 3 \hat{k}) \end{aligned}

Hint :-

\vec{r} = \vec{a} + λ \vec{b}

Given :-
The line passes through the point ( 1 , 2 , 3) and parallel to the line

\begin{aligned} \frac{- x - 2}{1} = \frac{y + 3}{7} = \frac{2 z - 6}{3} \end{aligned}

Solution :-
The P.V of the point (1 , 2 , 3) will be

\vec{r} = \hat{i} + 2 \hat{j} + 3 \hat{k}

The line

\begin{aligned} \frac{- x - 2}{1} = \frac{y + 3}{7} = \frac{2 z - 6}{3} \end{aligned}

can be written as

\begin{aligned} \frac{x + 2}{- 1} = \frac{y + 3}{7} = \frac{z - 3}{\frac{3}{2}} \end{aligned}

---------- (1)
So the direction ratios can be

- 1, 7, \frac{3}{2} o r - 2, 14, 3

P V = \hat{- 2} i + 14 \hat{j} + 3 \hat{k}

Cartesian equation of the line passing through ( 1 , 2 , 3) and parallel to (1)

\begin{aligned} \frac{x - 1}{- 2} = \frac{y - 2}{14} = \frac{z - 3}{3} \end{aligned}

Vector Equation

\vec{r} = \vec{a} + λ \vec{b}

= \begin{aligned} (\hat{ı} + 2 \hat{ȷ} + 3 \hat{k}) + λ (\hat{- 2} ı + 14 \hat{ȷ} + 3 \hat{k}) \end{aligned}

Straight Line in Space exercise 27.1 question 17

Answer :-

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

…cartesian equation of line

(- \frac{1}{3} \hat{ı} + \frac{1}{3} \hat{ȷ} + \hat{k}) + λ (2 \hat{ı} + \hat{ȷ} - \hat{6 k})

…vector equation of line

(\frac{- 1}{3}, \frac{1}{3}, 1)

…the fixed point through which the line passes ;

(2, 1, - 6)

….direction ratios of the line
Hint :-

\vec{r} = \vec{a} + λ \vec{b}

Given :-

3 x + 1 = 6 y - 2 = 1 - z

Solution :-
The given line can be written as

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

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

Thus the line passes through the point

(\frac{- 1}{3}, \frac{1}{3}, 1)

vector equation of the point will be

(\vec{a} = - \frac{1}{3} \hat{ı} + \frac{1}{3} \hat{ȷ} + \hat{k})

The direction ratios are proportional to

(2, 1, - 6)

and its vector equation will be

\vec{b} = 2 \hat{ı} + \hat{ȷ} - \hat{6 k}

Vector Equation of line

\vec{r} = \vec{a} + λ \vec{b}

= (- \frac{1}{3} \hat{ı} + \frac{1}{3} \hat{ȷ} + \hat{k}) + λ (2 \hat{ı} + \hat{ȷ} - \hat{6 k})

Straight Line in Space exercise 27.1 question 18

Answer :-

(\hat{ı} + 2 \hat{ȷ} - \hat{k}) + λ (7 \hat{ı} - 5 \hat{ȷ} + \hat{k})

Hint :-

\vec{r} = \vec{a} + λ \vec{b}

Given :-

A (1, 2, - 1) & 5 x - 25 = 14 - 7 y = 35 z

Solution :-

5 x - 25 = 14 - 7 y = 35 z \Rightarrow \frac{x - 5}{\frac{1}{5}} = \frac{y - 2}{\frac{- 1}{7}} = \frac{z}{\frac{1}{35}} \Rightarrow \frac{x - 5}{7} = \frac{y - 2}{- 5} = \frac{z}{1}

-------------- (1)
Direction ratios of (1) will be ( 7 , -5 , 1 )
hence,

\vec{b} = 7 \hat{ı} - 5 \hat{ȷ} + \hat{k}

P.V of

A (1, 2, - 1) => \vec{a} = \hat{ı} + 2 \hat{ȷ} - \hat{k}

\vec{r} = \vec{a} + λ \vec{b}

= (\hat{ı} + 2 \hat{ȷ} - \hat{k}) + λ (7 \hat{ı} - 5 \hat{ȷ} + \hat{k})
