Q131
If the length of the perpendicular drawn from the point P(a,4,2)P(a, 4,2), a >0>0 on the line x+12=y33=z11\dfrac{x+1}{2}=\dfrac{y-3}{3}=\dfrac{z-1}{-1} is 262 \sqrt{6} units and Q(α1,α2,α3)Q\left(\alpha_{1}, \alpha_{2}, \alpha_{3}\right) is the image of the point P in this line, then a+i=13αi\mathrm{a}+\sum\limits_{i=1}^{3} \alpha_{i} is equal to :
A 7
B 8
C 12
D 14
Correct Answer
Option B
Solution

\because PR is perpendicular to given line, so

2(2λ1a)+3(3λ1)1(λ1)=02(2\lambda - 1 - a) + 3(3\lambda - 1) - 1( - \lambda - 1) = 0
a=7λ2\Rightarrow a = 7\lambda - 2

Now, \because

PR=26PR = 2\sqrt 6
(5λ+1)2+(3λ1)2+(λ+1)2=24\Rightarrow {( - 5\lambda + 1)^2} + {(3\lambda - 1)^2} + {(\lambda + 1)^2} = 24
5λ22λ3=0λ=1\Rightarrow 5{\lambda ^2} - 2\lambda - 3 = 0 \Rightarrow \lambda = 1

or

35- {3 \over 5}

\because

a>0a > 0

so

λ=1\lambda = 1

and

a=5a = 5

Now

i=13αi=2\sum\limits_{i = 1}^3 {{\alpha _i} = 2}

(Sum of co-ordinate of R) - (Sum of coordinates of P)

=2(7)11=3= 2(7) - 11 = 3
a+i=13αi=5+3=8a + \sum\limits_{i = 1}^3 {{\alpha _i} = 5 + 3 = 8}
Q132
If the line of intersection of the planes ax+by=3a x+b y=3 and ax+by+cz=0a x+b y+c z=0, a >0>0 makes an angle 3030^{\circ} with the plane yz+2=0y-z+2=0, then the direction cosines of the line are :
A 12,12,0\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{2}}, \dfrac{1}{\sqrt{2}}, 0
B 12,±12,0\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{2}}, \pm \,\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{2}}, 0
C 15,25,0\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{5}},-\dfrac{2}{\sqrt{5}}, 0
D 12,32,0\dfrac{1}{2},-\dfrac{\sqrt{3}}{2}, 0
Correct Answer
Option B
Solution
P1:ax+by+0z=3{P_1}:ax + by + 0z = 3

, normal vector :

n1=(a,b,0){\overrightarrow n _1} = (a,b,0)
P2:ax+by+cz=0{P_2}:ax + by + cz = 0

, normal vector :

n2=(a,b,c){\overrightarrow n _2} = (a,b,c)

Vector parallel to the line of intersection

=n1×n2= {\overrightarrow n _1} \times {\overrightarrow n _2}
n1×n2=(bc,ac,0){\overrightarrow n _1} \times {\overrightarrow n _2} = (bc, - ac,0)

Vector normal to

0.x+yz+2=00\,.\,x + y - z + 2 = 0

is

n3=(0,1,1){\overrightarrow n _3} = (0,1, - 1)

Angle between line and plane is 30

^\circ
0ac+0b2c2+c2a22=12\Rightarrow \left| {{{0 - ac + 0} \over {\sqrt {{b^2}{c^2} + {c^2}{a^2}} \sqrt 2 }}} \right| = {1 \over 2}
a2=b2\Rightarrow {a^2} = {b^2}

Hence,

n1×n2=(ac,ac,0){\overrightarrow n _1} \times {\overrightarrow n _2} = (ac, - ac,0)

Direction ratios

=(12,12,0)= \left( {{1 \over {\sqrt 2 }}, - {1 \over {\sqrt 2 }},0} \right)
Q133
The foot of the perpendicular from a point on the circle x2+y2=1,z=0x^{2}+y^{2}=1, z=0 to the plane 2x+3y+z=62 x+3 y+z=6 lies on which one of the following curves?
A (6x+5y12)2+4(3x+7y8)2=1,z=62x3y(6 x+5 y-12)^{2}+4(3 x+7 y-8)^{2}=1, z=6-2 x-3 y
B (5x+6y12)2+4(3x+5y9)2=1,z=62x3y(5 x+6 y-12)^{2}+4(3 x+5 y-9)^{2}=1, z=6-2 x-3 y
C (6x+5y14)2+9(3x+5y7)2=1,z=62x3y(6 x+5 y-14)^{2}+9(3 x+5 y-7)^{2}=1, z=6-2 x-3 y
D (5x+6y14)2+9(3x+7y8)2=1,z=62x3y(5 x+6 y-14)^{2}+9(3 x+7 y-8)^{2}=1, z=6-2 x-3 y
Correct Answer
Option B
Solution

Any point on

x2+y2=1{x^2} + {y^2} = 1

,

z=0z = 0

is

p(cosθ,sinθ,0)p(\cos \theta ,\,\sin \theta ,\,0)

If foot of perpendicular of p on the plane

2x+3y+z=62x + 3y + z = 6

is

(h,k,l)(h,k,l)

then

hcosθ2=ksinθ3=l01{{h - \cos \theta } \over 2} = {{k - \sin \theta } \over 3} = {{l - 0} \over 1}
=(2cosθ+3sinθ+0622+32+12)=r= - \left( {{{2\cos \theta + 3\sin \theta + 0 - 6} \over {{2^2} + {3^2} + {1^2}}}} \right) = r

(let)

h=2r+cosθ,k=3r+sinθ,l=rh = 2r + \cos \theta ,\,k = 3r + \sin \theta ,\,l = r

Hence,

h2l=cosθh - 2l = \cos \theta

and

k3l=sinθk - 3l = \sin \theta

Hence,

(h2l)2+(k3l)2=1{(h - 2l)^2} + {(k - 3l)^2} = 1

When

l=62h3kl = 6 - 2h - 3k

Hence required locus is

(x2(62x3y))2+(y3(62x3y))2=1{(x - 2(6 - 2x - 3y))^2} + {(y - 3(6 - 2x - 3y))^2} = 1
(5x+6y12)2+4(3x+5y9)2=1,z=62x3y\Rightarrow {(5x + 6y - 12)^2} + 4{(3x + 5y - 9)^2} = 1,\,z = 6 - 2x - 3y
Q134
Let the lines x1λ=y21=z32\dfrac{x-1}{\lambda}=\dfrac{y-2}{1}=\dfrac{z-3}{2} and x+262=y+183=z+28λ\dfrac{x+26}{-2}=\dfrac{y+18}{3}=\dfrac{z+28}{\lambda} be coplanar and P\mathrm{P} be the plane containing these two lines. Then which of the following points does NOT lie on P?
A (0,2,2)(0,-2,-2)
B (5,0,1)(-5,0,-1)
C (3,1,0)(3,-1,0)
D (0,4,5)(0,4,5)
Correct Answer
Option D
Solution
L1:x1λ=y21=z32{L_1}:{{x - 1} \over \lambda } = {{y - 2} \over 1} = {{z - 3} \over 2}

, through a point

a1(1,2,3){\overrightarrow a _1} \equiv (1,2,3)

parallel to

b1(λ,1,2){\overrightarrow b _1} \equiv (\lambda ,1,2)
L2:x+262=y+183=z+28λ{L_2}:{{x + 26} \over { - 2}} = {{y + 18} \over 3} = {{z + 28} \over \lambda }

through a point

a2=(26,18,28){\overrightarrow a _2} = ( - 26, - 18, - 28)

parallel to

b2=(2,3,1){\overrightarrow b _2} = ( - 2,3,1)

If lines are coplanar then,

(a2a1).b1×b2=0({\overrightarrow a _2} - {\overrightarrow a _1})\,.\,{\overrightarrow b _1} \times {\overrightarrow b _2} = 0
272031λ1223λ=0λ=3\Rightarrow \left| \begin{array}{lll}{27} & {20} & {31} \\ \lambda & 1 & 2 \\ { - 2} & 3 & \lambda \end{array} \right| = 0 \Rightarrow \lambda = 3

Vector normal to the required plane

n=b1×b2\overrightarrow n = {\overrightarrow b _1} \times {\overrightarrow b _2}
n=i^j^k^312233=3i^13j^+11k^\Rightarrow \overrightarrow n = \left| \begin{array}{lll}{\widehat i} & {\widehat j} & {\widehat k} \\ 3 & 1 & 2 \\ { - 2} & 3 & 3 \end{array} \right| = - 3\widehat i - 13\widehat j + 11\widehat k

Equation of plane

((x1),(y2),(z3)).(3,13,11)=0\equiv ((x - 1),(y - 2),(z - 3))\,.\,( - 3, - 13,11) = 0
3x+13y11z+4=0\Rightarrow 3x + 13y - 11z + 4 = 0

Checking the option gives (0, 4, 5) does not lie on the plane.

and normal to

n\overline n
(x2,y2,z+2).(4,1,3)=0(x - 2,y - 2,z + 2)\,.\,(4, - 1, - 3) = 0
4xy3z=12\Rightarrow 4x - y - 3z = 12
x3+y12+z4=1\Rightarrow {x \over 3} + {y \over { - 12}} + {z \over { - 4}} = 1

Plane PP, is passing through intersection of the two planes, so,

2x+3yz2+λ(x+2y+3z6)=0x(2+λ)+y(3+2λ)+z(3λ1)26λ=0\begin{aligned} & 2 x+3 y-z-2+\lambda(x+2 y+3 z-6)=0 \\\\ & x(2+\lambda)+y(3+2 \lambda)+z(3 \lambda-1)-2-6 \lambda=0 \end{aligned}

It is perpendicular with plane, 2x+y2+1=02 x+y-2+1=0 So, (2+λ)2+(3+2λ)1+(3λ1)(1)=0(2+\lambda) 2+(3+2 \lambda) 1+(3 \lambda-1)(-1)=0 λ=8\lambda=-8 So, plane p1:6x13y25z+46=0p_1:-6 x-13 y-25 z+46=0 Distance of plane pp from the point (7,1,1)(-7,1,1)
