(d) < \(\frac{3}{\sqrt{17}}, \frac{2}{\sqrt{17}}, \frac{2}{\sqrt{17}}\) >
Solution:
(d) < \(\frac{3}{\sqrt{17}}, \frac{2}{\sqrt{17}}, \frac{2}{\sqrt{17}}\) >
Direction ratios of line joining the points A (- 2, – 1, 3) and B (1, 1, 5)
= < 1 – (- 2), 1 – (- 1), 5 – 3 >
i.e. < 3, 2, 2 >
direction cosines of line segment AB are ;
< \(\frac{3}{\sqrt{3^2+2^2+2^2}}, \frac{2}{\sqrt{3^2+2^2+2^2}}, \frac{2}{\sqrt{3^2+2^2+2^2}}\) >
i.e. < \(\frac{3}{\sqrt{17}}, \frac{2}{\sqrt{17}}, \frac{2}{\sqrt{17}}\) >
(ii) Cartesian equation of line joining the points A and B is
(a) \(\frac{x-1}{-3}=\frac{y-1}{-2}=\frac{z-5}{2}\)
(b) \(\frac{x+2}{3}=\frac{y+1}{2}=\frac{z-3}{2}\)
(c) \(\frac{x+2}{2}=\frac{y+1}{2}=\frac{z-3}{3}\)
(d) \(\frac{x-1}{2}=\frac{y-1}{2}=\frac{z-5}{2}\)
Solution:
(b) \(\frac{x+2}{3}=\frac{y+1}{2}=\frac{z-3}{2}\)
The cartesian eqn. of line through the points A and B is given by
\(\frac{x-(-2)}{1-(-2)}=\frac{y-(-1)}{1-(-1)}=\frac{z-3}{5-3}\)
i.e. \(\frac{x+2}{3}=\frac{y+1}{2}=\frac{z-3}{2}\)
(iii) Points on the line joining the points A and B which are at a distance of 5 units from the point (1, 3, 3) are
(a) (2, 1, 3), (4, 3 ,- 7)
(b) (- 2, 1, – 3), (4, – 3, – 7)
(c) (-2, – 1, 3), (4, 3, 7)
(d) (2, 1, – 3), (4, – 3, 7)
Solution:
(c) (-2, – 1, 3), (4, 3, 7)
Clearly any point on line joining A and B be given by
\(\frac{x+2}{3}=\frac{y+1}{2}=\frac{z-3}{2}\) = t (say)
i.e. P(3t – 2, 2t – 1, 2t + 3)
Further given |PQ| = 5 where Q (1, 3, 3).
⇒ \(\sqrt{(3 t-2-1)^2+(2 t-1-3)^2+(2 t+3-3)^2}\) = 5
⇒ (3t – 3)2 + (2t – 4)2 + (2t)2 = 25
⇒ 9(t2 – 2t + 1) + 4(t2 – 4t + 4) + 4t2 = 25
⇒ 17t2 – 34t = 0
⇒ 17t (t – 2)= 0
⇒ t = 0, 2
When t = 0 ;
point P becomes (- 2, – 1, 3)
When t = 2 ;
point P becomes (4, 3, 7)
(iv) The coordinates of the point, where the line joining the points A and B cuts the xz-plane are

(c) (- \(\frac{13}{2}\), – 4, 0)
(d) (\(\frac{2}{3}\), 0, \(\frac{1}{3}\))
Solution:
(a) (- \(\frac{1}{2}\), 0, 4)
Let the point Q divides the line segment AB in the ratio k : 1.
Then by section formula,
The coordinates of Q are \(\left(\frac{k-2}{k+1}, \frac{k-1}{k+1}, \frac{5 k+3}{k+1}\right)\)
Now line segment AB meets xz-plane.
∴ y-coordinate of Q is 0
⇒ \(\frac{k-1}{k+1}\) = 0
⇒ k = 1
Coordinates of Q are (- \(\frac{1}{2}\), 0, 4).
Case – Study 2:
In the space, a boy is standing at a point (3, 2, 1). He wants to reach a plane 2x – y + z + 1 = 0 in the space.
Based on the above information, answer the following questions:
(i) Equation of path followed by the boy to reach the plane in least possible time is
(a) \(\frac{x+3}{2}=\frac{y-2}{1}=\frac{z-1}{-1}\)
(b) \(\frac{x-3}{2}=\frac{y-2}{-1}=\frac{z-1}{1}\)
(c) \(\frac{x-3}{1}=\frac{y-2}{2}=\frac{z-1}{-1}\)
(d) \(\frac{x-3}{-2}=\frac{y-2}{-1}=\frac{z-1}{-1}\)
Solution:
(b) \(\frac{x-3}{2}=\frac{y-2}{-1}=\frac{z-1}{1}\)
eqn. of plane be
2x – y + z + 1 = 0 ……………………(1)
Now boy reaching the plane in least possible time if he follows the path which is line of shortest distance.
\(\frac{x-3}{2}=\frac{y-2}{-1}=\frac{z-1}{1}\) …………………..(2)
(ii) Point of intersection of the path followed by the boy for reaching to plane in least time and the plane is
(a) (1, 3, 0)
(b) (- 1, 0, 3)
(c) (3, 0, 1)
(d) (3, – 1, 0)
Solution:
(a) (1, 3, 0)
Let P be the point of intersection of line (2) and plane (1).
Any point on line (2) be (2t + 3, – t + 2, t + 1)
For intersection, P (2t + 3, – t + 2, t + 1)
lies on plane (1)
2 (2t + 3) – (- t + 2) + t + 1 + 1 = 0
⇒ 6t + 6 = 0
⇒ t = – 1
Thus coordinates of point of intersection P are (- 2 + 3, 1 + 2, – 1 + 1) i.e. (1, 3, 0)
(iii) Image of the point (3, 2, 1) in the plane 2x – y + z + 1 = 0 (assuming plane as a mirror) is
(a) (4, 1, 1)
(b) (4, – 1, – 1)
(e) (1, 4, 1)
(d) (- 1, 4, – 1)
Solution:
(d) (- 1, 4, – 1)
Let P be the foot of ⊥ drawn from A (3, 2, 1) to given plane (1).
Then coordinates of P are (1, 3, 0).
Let Q (α, β, γ) be the image of A (3, 2, 1) in plane (1) then P be the mid-point of AQ.
∴ \(\left(\frac{\alpha+3}{2}, \frac{\beta+2}{2}, \frac{\gamma+1}{2}\right)\) = (1, 3, 0)
i.e. \(\frac{\alpha+3}{2}\) = 1
⇒ α = – 1;
\(\frac{\beta+2}{2}\) = 3
⇒ β = 4
and \(\frac{\gamma+1}{2}\) = 0
⇒ γ = – 1
∴ Coordinates of image of given point are (- 1, 4, – 1).
(iv) Distance of the boy from the plane 2x – y + z + 1 = 0 measured along a straight line path parallel to line \(\frac{x+4}{1}=\frac{y-2}{2}=\frac{z+3}{3}\) is
(a) 2 \(\sqrt{14}\) units
(b) 3 \(\sqrt{14}\) units
(c) 2√7 units
(d) 3√7 units
Solution:
(a) 2 \(\sqrt{14}\) units
The eqn. of line through a point (3, 2, 1) and || to given line \(\frac{x+4}{1}=\frac{y-2}{2}=\frac{z+3}{3}\)
be \(\frac{x-3}{1}=\frac{y-2}{2}=\frac{z-1}{3}\) …………………(1)
So any point on line (1) be P (t + 3, 2t + 2, 3t + 1)
Clearly point P lies on plane
2x – y + z + 1 = 0
∴ 2 (t + 3) – (2t + 2) + 3t + 1 + 1 = 0
∴ 3t = – 6
⇒ t = – 2
Thus coordinates of P are (- 2 + 3, – 4 + 2, – 6 + 1)
i.e. (1, – 2, – 5)
∴ |AP| = \(\sqrt{(3-1)^2+(2+2)^2+(1+5)^2}\)
= \(\sqrt{4+16+36}\)
= \(\sqrt{56}\)
= \(2 \sqrt{14}\) units
Case – Study 3 :
A helicopter ¡s flying in the sky. The coordinates of the helicopter are P (- 2, 3, – 4). A bird is also flying in the sky along the line whose equation is \(\frac{x+2}{2}=\frac{2 y+3}{4}=\frac{3 z+4}{5}\).
Based on the above information, answer the following questions:
(i) If Q is any point on the given line and PQ is parallel to the plane 4x + 12y – 3z + 1 = 0, then the coordinates of Q are
(a) (4, \(\frac{5}{2}\), – 2)
(b) (- 4, \(\frac{5}{2}\) , 2)
(c) (- 4, – \(\frac{5}{2}\), – 2)
(d) (4, \(\frac{5}{2}\), 2)
Solution:
(d) (4, \(\frac{5}{2}\), 2)
Given coordinates of helicopter are P ( – 2, 3, – 4) given eqn. of path of bird be given by
\(\frac{x+2}{3}=\frac{y+\frac{3}{2}}{2}=\frac{z+\frac{4}{3}}{\frac{5}{3}}\)
i.e. \(\frac{x+2}{9}=\frac{y+\frac{3}{2}}{6}=\frac{z+\frac{4}{3}}{5}\) ………………..(1)
Any point on line (1) be
Q (9t – 2, 6t – \(\frac{3}{2}\), 5t – \(\frac{4}{3}\))
direction ratios of line PQ are
< 9t – 2 + 2, 6t – \(\frac{3}{2}\), 5t – \(\frac{4}{3}\) ± 4 >
i.e. < 9t, 6t – \(\frac{9}{2}\), 5t + \(\frac{8}{3}\) >
Direction ratios of normal to given plane 4x + 12y – 3z + 1 = 0 are < 4, 12, – 3 >
Since PQ is parallel to given plane.
∴ NormaI to plane is ⊥ to line PQ.
Thus, 4 × 9t + 12 × (6t – \(\frac{9}{2}\)) – 3 (5t + \(\frac{8}{3}\)) = 0
36t + 72t – 54 – 15t – 8 = 0
⇒ 93t – 62 = 0
⇒ t = \(\frac{2}{3}\)
∴ Coordinates of Q are \(\left(9 \times \frac{2}{3}-2,6 \times \frac{2}{3}-\frac{3}{2}, 5 \times \frac{2}{3}-\frac{4}{3}\right)\)
i.e. (4, \(\frac{5}{2}\), 2)
(ii) The distance of the point (- 2, 3, – 4) from the line \(\frac{x+2}{3}=\frac{2 y+3}{4}=\frac{3 z+5}{5}\) measured parallel to the plane 4x + 12y – 3z + 1 = 0 is
(a) 7.5 units
(b) 8.5 units
(c) 9.5 units
(d) 10.5 units
Solution:
(b) 8.5 units
Clearly any point on given line (1) be Q (9t – 2, 6t – \(\frac{3}{2}\), 5t – \(\frac{4}{3}\))
∴ direction ratios of line PQ are < 9t – 2 + 2, 6t – \(\frac{3}{2}\) – 3, 5t – \(\frac{4}{3}\) + 4 >
i.e. < 9t, 6t – \(\frac{9}{2}\), 5t + \(\frac{8}{3}\) >
Now direction ratios of normal to given plane are < 4, 12, – 3 >
Since PQ is parallel to given plane.
∴ Normal to plane is ⊥ to line PQ.
∴ 9t × 4 + (6t – \(\frac{9}{2}\)) 12 – 3 (5t + \(\frac{8}{3}\)) = 0
⇒ 36t + 72t – 54 – 15t – 8 = 0
⇒ 93t = 62
⇒ t = \(\frac{2}{3}\)
∴ Coordinates of Q are (4, \(\frac{5}{2}\), 2)
Thus |PQ| = \(\sqrt{(4+2)^2+\left(\frac{5}{2}-3\right)^2+(2+4)^2}\)
= \(\sqrt{36+\frac{1}{4}+36}\)
= \(\sqrt{\frac{289}{4}}\)
= \(\frac{17}{2}\) sq. units
(iii) The equation of a plane passing through the point (- 2, 3, – 4) and perpendicular to the line \(\frac{x+2}{3}=\frac{2 y+3}{4}=\frac{3 z+5}{5}\) is
(a) 3 (x + 2) + 2 (y – 3) + \(\frac{5}{3}\) (z + 4) = 0
(b) 3 (x + 2) + 4 (y – 3) + 5 (z + 4) = 0
(c) – 3 (x + 2) + 4 (y – 3) + 5 (z + 4) = 0
(d) none of these
Solution:
(a) 3 (x + 2) + 2 (y – 3) + \(\frac{5}{3}\) (z + 4) = 0
Direction ratios of line (1) are < 9, 6, 5 >
Thus eqn. of plane passing through the point (- 2, 3, – 4) and ⊥ to line (1) be given by
9 (x + 2) + 6 (y – 3) + 5 (z + 4) = 0
3 (x + 2) + 2(y + 3) + \(\frac{5}{3}\) (z + 4) = 0
(iv) The direction cosines of the plane 4x + 12y – 3z + 1 = 0 are
(a) < \(\frac{4}{13}, \frac{12}{13}, \frac{-3}{13}\) >
(b) < \(\frac{-4}{13}, \frac{-12}{13}, \frac{-3}{13}\) >
(c) < \(\frac{4}{13}, \frac{12}{13}, \frac{3}{13}\) >
(d) none of these
Solution:
(a) < \(\frac{4}{13}, \frac{12}{13}, \frac{-3}{13}\) >
Direction ratios of normal to given plane are < 4, 12, – 3 >
∴ direction cosine of normal to plane are :
< \(\frac{4}{\sqrt{16+144+9}}, \frac{12}{\sqrt{16+144+9}}, \frac{-3}{\sqrt{16+144+9}}\) >
i.e. < \(\frac{4}{13}, \frac{12}{13}, \frac{-3}{13}\) >

⇒ y = – x + 4 + 5 = 9 – x
(iii) The correct equation representing the boundary BC is
(a) y = \(\frac{x}{2}-\frac{3}{4}\)
(b) y = \(\frac{3}{2} x-\frac{3}{2}\)
(c) y = \(\frac{3}{4} x-\frac{3}{2}\)
(d) y = \(\frac{3}{2}-\frac{3}{4} x\)
Solution:
(c) y = \(\frac{3}{4} x-\frac{3}{2}\)
The eqn. representing the boundary BC is given by
y – 0 = \(\frac{3-0}{6-2}\) (x – 2)
⇒ y = \(\frac{3}{2}\) (x – 2)
= \(\frac{3 x}{4}-\frac{3}{2}\)
