The Plane Exercise 28.12 Question 2

Answer: Therefore, the required point $\left ( 1,-2,7 \right )$
Hint: Use formula $\frac{x-x_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}=\frac{y-y_{1}}{y_{2}-y_{1}}=\frac{z-z_{1}}{z_{2}-z_{1}}$
Given: $\left ( 3,-4,-5 \right )$ & $\left ( 2,-3,1 \right )$ and plane $2x+y+z=7$
Solution: Equation of line through $\left ( 3,-4,-5 \right )$ & $\left ( 2,-3,1 \right )$ is

$\frac{x-3}{-1}=\frac{y+4}{1}=\frac{z+5}{6}=\lambda$
$any\: point \: on \: the\: line (3-\lambda,-4+\lambda,-5+6 \lambda)$
$but \: this\: point \: lies \: on\: the\: plane\: 2 x+y+z=7 is$
$6-2 \lambda-4+\lambda-5+6 \lambda=7$
$\Rightarrow 5 \lambda=10 \Rightarrow \lambda=2$
$\therefore Required \: point \: is (1,-2,7)$

The Plane Exercise 28.12 Question 3

Answer:Therefore ,the distance is 13 Units .
Hint : Use Distance formula $\sqrt{\left ( x_{2}-x_{1} \right )^{2}+\left ( y_{2}-_y{1} \right )^{2}+\left ( z_{2}-z_{1} \right )^{2}}$
Given:
$\begin{aligned} &\vec{r}=2 \hat{\imath}-\hat{\jmath}+2 \hat{k}+\lambda(3 \hat{\imath}+4 \hat{\jmath}+2 \hat{k}) \text { and } \\ &\vec{r} \cdot(\hat{\imath}-\hat{\jmath}+\hat{k})=5 \text { and point }(-1,-5,-10) \end{aligned}$
Solution :
$General\; point \: on \: the \: line \: is$
$(2+3 \lambda,-1+4 \lambda, 2+2 \lambda)$
$As\: point \: lies \: on\: the\: plane$
$\therefore 2+3 \lambda+1-4 \lambda+2+2 \lambda=5$
$\Rightarrow \lambda=0$
$\therefore \: So\: the \: \: coordinate \: \: of \: \: point \: \: is (2,-1,2)$
$Distance =\sqrt{(2-(-1))^{2}+(-1-(-5))^{2}+(2-(-10))^{2}}$
$=\sqrt{(2+1)^{2}+(-1+5)^{2}+(2+10)^{2}}$
$=\sqrt{(3)^{2}+(4)^{2}+(12)^{2}}$
$=\sqrt{9+16+144}$
$=\sqrt{169}=13 unit$

The Plane Exercise 28.12 Question 4

Answer: Therefore, the distance is 13 units.
Hint: Use distance formula $\sqrt{\left ( x_{2}-x_{1} \right )^{2}+\left ( y_{2}-y_{1} \right )^{2}+\left ( z_{2}-z_{1} \right )^{2}}$
Given:
$\begin{aligned} &\vec{r}=2 \hat{\imath}-4 \hat{\jmath}+2 \hat{k}+\lambda(3 \hat{\imath}+4 \hat{\jmath}+2 \hat{k}) \text { and } \\ &\vec{r} \cdot(\hat{\imath}-2 \hat{\jmath}+\hat{k})=0 \text { and point }(2,12,5) \end{aligned}$
Solution:
$\begin{aligned} &\text { General point on the line is }\\ &(2+3 \lambda,-4+4 \lambda, 2+2 \lambda)\\ &\text { The equation of the plane is } \vec{r} \cdot(\hat{\imath}-2 \hat{\jmath}+\hat{k})=0 \end{aligned}$
The point of intersection of the line and the plane will be ,
Substituting general point of the line in the equation of plane and finding the perpendicular value of $\lambda$

$[(2+3 \lambda) \hat{\imath}+(-4+4 \lambda) \hat{\jmath}+(2+2 \lambda) \hat{k}](\hat{\imath}-2 \hat{\jmath}+\hat{k})=0$
$[(2+3 \lambda) 1+(-4+4 \lambda)(-2)+(2+2 \lambda) 1]=0$
$12-3 \lambda=0 \Rightarrow \lambda=4$ $\therefore The \, point \: of \: intersection\: is (14,12,10)$
$Distance \: of \: this\: point \: from (2,12,5) is$
$=\sqrt{(14-2)^{2}+(12-12)^{2}+(10-5)^{2}}$
$=\sqrt{12^{2}+5^{2}}$
$=\sqrt{144+25}$

The Plane Exercise 28.12 Question 5

Answer:Therefore ,the distance is 13 units
Hint: Use distance formula $\frac{x-x_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}=\frac{y-y_{1}}{y_{2}-y_{1}}=\frac{z-z_{1}}{z_{2}-z_{1}}$
Given:
$\begin{aligned} &\text { Point } P(-1,-5,-10) \\ &A(2,-1,2) \& B(5,3,4) \\ &\text { and } x-y+z=5 \end{aligned}$
Solution: $Equation \: of \: line\: passing \: through (2,-1,2) \&(5,3,4) is$
$\frac{x-2}{5-2}=\frac{y+1}{3+1}=\frac{z-2}{4-2}$
$\frac{x-2}{3}=\frac{y+1}{4}=\frac{z-2}{2}=m$
$x=3 m+2, y=4 m-1, z=2 m+2$
$Now \: putting \: the \: value \: of \: \mathrm{x}, \mathrm{y} and \mathrm{z} in the \: equation \: of \: the \: palne \: x-y+z=5$
$(3 m+2)-(4 m-1)+(2 m+2)=5$
$m=0$
$So, the\: point \: of\: intersection \: of \: the \: line\: and\: the \: plane\: is (2,-1,2)$
$\therefore The\; distance \: of\: the \: point\; \mathrm{P}(-1,-5,-10)$
$=\sqrt{3^{2}+4^{2}+12^{2}}=13 \: unit$

The Plane Exercise 28.12 Question 6

Answer: Therefore, the distance is 7 units.
Hint : Use distance formula $\sqrt{\left ( x_{2}-x_{1} \right )^{2}+\left ( y_{2}-y_{1} \right )^{2}\left ( z_{2}-z_{1} \right )^{2}}$
Given: $P\left ( 3,4,4 \right ),A\left ( 3,-4,-5 \right )$ & $B\left ( 2,-3,1 \right )$
and $2x+y+z=7$
Solution:
$The \: direction \: ratios \: of\: line \: joining\: A(3,-4,-5) \& B(2,-3,1) are$
$[(2-3),(-3+4),(1+5)]=(-1,1,6)$
$Now\: \: the \: \: equation \: of \: line \: passing \: through \: (3,-4,-5) \& B(2,-3,1) and\: having DR's (-1,1,6) is$
$\frac{x-3}{-1}=\frac{y+4}{1}=\frac{z+5}{6}$
$\begin{aligned} &\frac{x-3}{-1}=\frac{y+4}{1}=\frac{z+5}{6}=\lambda(\text { say }) \\ &x=-\lambda+3, y=\lambda-4, z=6 \lambda-5 \end{aligned}$
Thus the general point on the line is given by $\left ( 3-\lambda ,\lambda -4,6\lambda -5 \right )$
Since the intersection of the line and the plane intersects each other,the line lies on the plane
Hence,
$2 x+y+z=7$
$2(-\lambda+3)+(\lambda-4)+(6 \lambda-5)=7 \lambda=2$
$On \: substituting\: the \: value \: of\: \lambda,value of x, y \& z are$
$(3-2,2-4,6(2)-5) i.e (1,-2,7)$
$Distance\: \: between (3,4,4) and (1,-2,7)$
$=\sqrt{(3-1)^{2}+(4+2)^{2}+(4-7)^{2}}$
$=\sqrt{4+36+9}$
$=\sqrt{49}$
$= 7\: \: units$

The Plane Exercise 28.12 Question 7

Answer: Therefore, the distance is $10\sqrt{3}$ units.

Hint:Use distance formula $\sqrt{\left ( x_{2}-x_{1} \right )^{2}+\left ( y_{2}-y_{1} \right )^{2}+\left ( z_{2}-z_{1} \right )^{2}}$
Given:
$\left ( 1,-5,9 \right )$ and $x-y+z=5$
$x=y=z$
Solution: The straight line is given by $x=y=z$
$\because \frac{x}{1}=\frac{y}{1}=\frac{z}{1}$
$Direction\: ratios \: are \: 1,1,1$
$Again\: the\: given\: point \: is (1,-5,9)$
$\therefore \frac{x-1}{1}=\frac{y+5}{1}=\frac{z-9}{1}=t( say )$
$\Rightarrow x=t+1, y=t-5, z=t+9$
$\begin{aligned} &\text { This point satisfies the plane equation }\\ &x-y+z=5\\ &t+1-t+5+t+9=5\\ &t+15=5\\ &t=-10 \end{aligned}$
$\begin{aligned} &x=-9, y=-15, z=-1\\ &\text { The distance between the coordinates }(-9,-15,-1) \text { and }(1,-5,9)\\ &=\sqrt{(1+9)^{2}+(-5+15)^{2}+(9+1)^{2}}\\ &=\sqrt{10^{2}+10^{2}+10^{2}}\\ &=10 \sqrt{3} \end{aligned}$

The Plane Exercise 28.12 Question 8

Answer: Therefore, required point (7,10,0)
Hint :Use distance formula $\frac{x-x_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}=\frac{y-y_{1}}{y_{2}-y_{1}}=\frac{z-z_{1}}{z_{2}-z_{1}}$
Given: $\frac{x-1}{3}=\frac{y+4}{7}=\frac{z+4}{2}$
Solution:
$If \: line \frac{x-1}{3}=\frac{y+4}{7}=\frac{z+4}{2} cuts \: the XY-plane$
$Then z=0$
$So, let \: coordinate\: of \: point \: be (x, y, 0)$
$\frac{x-1}{3}=\frac{y+4}{7}=\frac{z+4}{2}=k(s a y)$
$\Rightarrow x=3 k+1, y=7 k-4, z=2 k-4$
$Since\: z=0$
$\Rightarrow 2 k-4=0$
$\Rightarrow 2 k=4 \Rightarrow k=2$
$Now, x=7, y=10, z=0$

Therefore, required point (7,10,0)

The Plane Exercise 28.12 Question 9

Answer: Therefore, required distance is $\vec{r}=-2 \hat{\imath}-4 \hat{\jmath}+7 \hat{k}+\mu(3 \hat{\imath}+3 \hat{\jmath}-3 \hat{k})$ & distance is $3\sqrt{3}$ units
Hint: Use properties of vector
Given:
$\begin{aligned} &\vec{r}=3 \hat{\imath}-2 \hat{\jmath}+6 \hat{k}+\lambda(2 \hat{\imath}-\hat{\jmath}+2 \hat{k}) \text { and }\\ &\vec{r} \cdot(\hat{\imath}-\hat{\jmath}+\hat{k})=6\\ \end{aligned}$
Solution:
$\begin{aligned} &\vec{r}=3 \hat{\imath}-2 \hat{\jmath}+6 \hat{k}+\lambda(2 \hat{\imath}-\hat{\jmath}+2 \hat{k})\\ &\vec{r}=(3+2 \lambda) \hat{\imath}+(-2-\lambda) \hat{\jmath}+(6+2 \lambda) \hat{k}\\ &\text { Plane is } \vec{r} \cdot(\hat{\imath}-\hat{\jmath}+\hat{k})=6\\ &\text { To find the point of intersection, }\\ &\therefore 3+2 \lambda+2 \lambda+6+2 \lambda=6\\ &5 \lambda=-5 \Rightarrow \lambda=-1\\ &\therefore \text { Point } \mathrm{Q}(1,-1,4)\\ &P(-2,-4,7)\\ &\text { Line } \mathrm{PQ} \text { is } \vec{r}=-2 \hat{\imath}-4 \hat{\jmath}+7 \hat{k}+\mu(3 \hat{\imath}+3 \hat{\jmath}-3 \hat{k})\\ &\text { Required distance of } \mathrm{PQ}=\sqrt{(1-(-2))^{2}+((-4)+1)^{2}+(7-4)^{2}}=\sqrt{3^{2}+3^{2}+3^{2}}=\sqrt{27} \text { units } \end{aligned}$
