Q162
Let the foot of perpendicular of the point P(3,2,9)P(3,-2,-9) on the plane passing through the points (1,2,3),(9,3,4),(9,2,1)(-1,-2,-3),(9,3,4),(9,-2,1) be Q(α,β,γ)Q(\alpha, \beta, \gamma). Then the distance of QQ from the origin is :
A 38\sqrt{38}
B 29\sqrt{29}
C 42\sqrt{42}
D 35\sqrt{35}
Correct Answer
Option C
Solution

The equation of the plane passing through points A(1,2,3)A(-1, -2, -3), B(9,3,4)B(9, 3, 4), and C(9,2,1)C(9, -2, 1) can be written using the determinant :

x+1y+2z+310571004=0\left|\begin{array}{ccc} x+1 & y+2 & z+3 \\ 10 & 5 & 7 \\ 10 & 0 & 4 \end{array}\right|=0

Expanding the determinant, we get :

2x+3y5z7=02x + 3y - 5z - 7 = 0

Next, we find the foot of the perpendicular from point P(3,2,9)P(3, -2, -9) to the plane.

Using the coordinates of PP and the equation of the plane, we can find the ratio of the perpendicular distance to the sum of the squares of the coefficients of xx, yy, and zz :

2(3)+3(2)5(9)722+32+(5)2=3838\frac{2(3) + 3(-2) - 5(-9) - 7}{2^2 + 3^2 + (-5)^2} = \frac{-38}{38}

We can now find the coordinates of the foot of the perpendicular, Q(α,β,γ)Q(\alpha, \beta, \gamma) :

α32=β+23=γ+95=3838\frac{\alpha - 3}{2} = \frac{\beta + 2}{3} = \frac{\gamma + 9}{-5} = -\frac{38}{38}

Solving for α\alpha, β\beta, and γ\gamma :

α=32(3838)=1\alpha = 3 - 2\left(-\frac{38}{38}\right) = 1
β=2+3(3838)=5\beta = -2 + 3\left(-\frac{38}{38}\right) = -5
γ=95(3838)=4\gamma = -9 - 5\left(-\frac{38}{38}\right) = -4

So, the coordinates of the foot of the perpendicular are Q(1,5,4)Q(1, -5, -4).

Now, we can find the distance of point QQ from the origin :

OQ=α2+β2+γ2=12+(5)2+(4)2=42OQ = \sqrt{\alpha^2 + \beta^2 + \gamma^2} = \sqrt{1^2 + (-5)^2 + (-4)^2} = \sqrt{42}
Q163
Let the system of linear equations x+2y9z=7-x+2 y-9 z=7 x+3y+7z=9-x+3 y+7 z=9 2x+y+5z=8-2 x+y+5 z=8 3x+y+13z=λ-3 x+y+13 z=\lambda has a unique solution x=α,y=β,z=γx=\alpha, y=\beta, z=\gamma. Then the distance of the point (α,β,γ)(\alpha, \beta, \gamma) from the plane 2x2y+z=λ2 x-2 y+z=\lambda is :
A 11
B 7
C 13
D 9
Correct Answer
Option B
Solution
x+2y9z=7(1)x+3y7z=9(2)2x+y+5z=8(3)(2)(1)y+16z=2(4)(3)2×(1)3y+23z=6(5)3×(4)+(5)71z=0z=0y=2(3,2,0)(α,β,γ) Put in 3x+y+13z=λλ=9+2=11\begin{aligned} & -x+2 y-9 z=7-(1) \\\\ & -x+3 y-7 z=9-(2) \\\\ & -2 x+y+5 z=8-(3) \\\\ & (2)-(1) \\\\ & y+16 z=2 \quad(4) \\\\ & (3)-2 \times(1) \\\\ & -3 y+23 z=-6-(5) \\\\ & 3 \times(4)+(5) \\\\ & 71 z=0 \Rightarrow z=0 \\\\ & \quad y=2 \\\\ & (-3,2,0) \rightarrow(\alpha, \beta, \gamma) \\\\ & \text{ Put in }-3 x+y+13 z=\lambda \\\\ & \lambda=9+2=11 \end{aligned}

The equation of the plane is:

2x2y+z=λ2x - 2y + z = \lambda

We already know that λ=11\lambda = 11. So the equation of the plane becomes:

2x2y+z=112x - 2y + z = 11

Now, let's find the distance dd of the point (α,β,γ)=(3,2,0)(\alpha, \beta, \gamma) = (-3, 2, 0) from the plane using the formula :

d=Ax+By+Cz+DA2+B2+C2d = \frac{|Ax + By + Cz + D|}{\sqrt{A^2 + B^2 + C^2}}

Plugging in the values for the point and the plane equation, we get:

d=2(3)2(2)+01122+(2)2+12=64114+4+1=219=7d = \frac{|2(-3) - 2(2) + 0 - 11|}{\sqrt{2^2 + (-2)^2 + 1^2}} = \frac{|-6 - 4 - 11|}{\sqrt{4 + 4 + 1}} = \frac{21}{\sqrt{9}} = 7

So, the distance of the point (3,2,0)(-3, 2, 0) from the plane 2x2y+z=112x - 2y + z = 11 is 7.

Q164
Let S\mathrm{S} be the set of all values of λ\lambda, for which the shortest distance between the lines xλ0=y34=z+61\dfrac{x-\lambda}{0}=\dfrac{y-3}{4}=\dfrac{z+6}{1} and x+λ3=y4=z60\dfrac{x+\lambda}{3}=\dfrac{y}{-4}=\dfrac{z-6}{0} is 13. Then 8λSλ8\left|\sum\limits_{\lambda \in S} \lambda\right| is equal to :
A 306
B 304
C 308
D 302
Correct Answer
Option A
Solution

Given the two lines :

xλ0=y34=z+61x+λ3=y4=z60\frac{x-\lambda}{0}=\frac{y-3}{4}=\frac{z+6}{1} \\\\ \frac{x+\lambda}{3}=\frac{y}{-4}=\frac{z-6}{0}

Let's find the direction vectors of these lines: d1=0,4,1\vec{d_1} = \langle 0, 4, 1 \rangle and d2=3,4,0\vec{d_2} = \langle 3, -4, 0 \rangle.

Now, let's find the cross product of the direction vectors, which will give a vector that is perpendicular to both lines : n=d1×d2=4,3,12\vec{n} = \vec{d_1} \times \vec{d_2} = \langle 4, 3, -12 \rangle Let's find the vector connecting a point on line 1 to a point on line 2 : c=2λ,3,12\vec{c} = \langle 2\lambda, 3, -12 \rangle The shortest distance between the two lines is the projection of c\vec{c} onto n\vec{n} : d=cnn=(2λ)(4)+(3)(3)(12)(12)16+9+144d = \left|\dfrac{\vec{c} \cdot \vec{n}}{|\vec{n}|}\right| = \left|\dfrac{(2\lambda)(4) + (3)(3) - (12)(-12)}{\sqrt{16 + 9 + 144}}\right| We are given that the shortest distance is 13 : 13=8λ+1531313 = \left|\dfrac{8\lambda + 153}{13}\right| 8λ+153=169|8\lambda + 153| = 169 We have two cases : 1.

8λ+153=1698\lambda + 153 = 169 λ=168\lambda = \dfrac{16}{8} 2.

8λ+153=1698\lambda + 153 = -169 λ=3228\lambda = \dfrac{-322}{8} Now, let's calculate 8λSλ8\left|\sum\limits_{\lambda \in S} \lambda\right| : 8168+3228=83068=3068\left|\dfrac{16}{8} + \dfrac{-322}{8}\right| = 8\left|\dfrac{-306}{8}\right| = 306 Thus, the correct answer is Option A : 306.

Q165
The line, that is coplanar to the line x+33=y11=z55\dfrac{x+3}{-3}=\dfrac{y-1}{1}=\dfrac{z-5}{5}, is :
A x+11=y22=z54\dfrac{x+1}{-1}=\dfrac{y-2}{2}=\dfrac{z-5}{4}
B x+11=y22=z55\dfrac{x+1}{-1}=\dfrac{y-2}{2}=\dfrac{z-5}{5}
C x11=y22=z55\dfrac{x-1}{-1}=\dfrac{y-2}{2}=\dfrac{z-5}{5}
D x+11=y22=z55\dfrac{x+1}{1}=\dfrac{y-2}{2}=\dfrac{z-5}{5}
Correct Answer
Option B
Solution

Given two lines: xx1a1=yy1b1=zz1c1\dfrac{x - x_1}{a_1} = \dfrac{y - y_1}{b_1} = \dfrac{z - z_1}{c_1} and xx2a2=yy2b2=zz2c2\dfrac{x - x_2}{a_2} = \dfrac{y - y_2}{b_2} = \dfrac{z - z_2}{c_2} These lines are coplanar if the determinant of the matrix

x2x1y2y1z2z1a1b1c1a2b2c2\begin{vmatrix} x_2-x_1 & y_2-y_1 & z_2-z_1 \\ a_1 & b_1 & c_1 \\ a_2 & b_2 & c_2 \end{vmatrix}

= 0 Now let's apply this condition to the given problem.

The given line is : x+33=y11=z55\dfrac{x + 3}{-3} = \dfrac{y - 1}{1} = \dfrac{z - 5}{5} So, the coordinates of any point on this line are (3,1,5)(-3, 1, 5) and the direction ratios are (3,1,5)(-3, 1, 5).

Now, let's calculate the determinants for each option and check which one equals zero.

For Option A : x+11=y22=z54\dfrac{x + 1}{-1} = \dfrac{y - 2}{2} = \dfrac{z - 5}{4} The coordinates of any point on this line are (1,2,5)(-1, 2, 5) and the direction ratios are (1,2,4)(-1, 2, 4).

The determinant is :

1(3)2155315124=210315124\begin{vmatrix} -1 - (-3) & 2 - 1 & 5 - 5 \\ -3 & 1 & 5 \\ -1 & 2 & 4 \end{vmatrix} = \begin{vmatrix} 2 & 1 & 0 \\ -3 & 1 & 5 \\ -1 & 2 & 4 \end{vmatrix}

Applying the formula : = 2(1×45×2)1((3×4)(5×1))+0((3×2)(1×1))2(1 \times 4 - 5\times2) - 1((-3\times4) - (5\times-1)) + 0((-3\times2) - (1\times-1)) = 2(410)1(12(5))+0(6(1))2(4 - 10) - 1(-12 - (-5)) + 0(-6 - (-1)) = 2(6)1(7)+0(5)2(-6) - 1(-7) + 0(-5) = 12+7+0-12 + 7 + 0 = 5-5 The determinant for Option A is not equal to zero, so this line is not coplanar with the given line.

For Option B, we have : x+11=y22=z55\dfrac{x + 1}{-1} = \dfrac{y - 2}{2} = \dfrac{z - 5}{5} The coordinates of any point on this line are (1,2,5)(-1, 2, 5) and the direction ratios are (1,2,5)(-1, 2, 5).

1(3)2155315125=210315125\begin{vmatrix} -1 - (-3) & 2 - 1 & 5 - 5 \\ -3 & 1 & 5 \\ -1 & 2 & 5 \end{vmatrix} = \begin{vmatrix} 2 & 1 & 0 \\ -3 & 1 & 5 \\ -1 & 2 & 5 \end{vmatrix}

Applying the formula, we get : = 2(1552)1((35)(51))+0((32)(11))2(1*5 - 5*2) - 1((-3*5) - (5*-1)) + 0((-3*2) - (1*-1)) = 2(510)1(15(5))+0(6(1))2(5 - 10) - 1(-15 - (-5)) + 0(-6 - (-1)) = 2(5)1(10)+0(5)2(-5) - 1(-10) + 0(-5) = 10+10+0-10 + 10 + 0 = 00 So, the determinant for Option B equals zero, which confirms that the line in Option B is coplanar with the given line.

For Option C : x11=y22=z55\dfrac{x - 1}{-1} = \dfrac{y - 2}{2} = \dfrac{z - 5}{5} The coordinates of any point on this line are (1,2,5)(1, 2, 5) and the direction ratios are (1,2,5)(-1, 2, 5).

The determinant is:

1(3)2155315125=410315125\begin{vmatrix} 1 - (-3) & 2 - 1 & 5 - 5 \\ -3 & 1 & 5 \\ -1 & 2 & 5 \end{vmatrix} = \begin{vmatrix} 4 & 1 & 0 \\ -3 & 1 & 5 \\ -1 & 2 & 5 \end{vmatrix}

Applying the formula : = 4(1552)1((35)(51))+0((32)(11))4(1*5 - 5*2) - 1((-3*5) - (5*-1)) + 0((-3*2) - (1*-1)) = 4(510)1(15(5))+0(6(1))4(5 - 10) - 1(-15 - (-5)) + 0(-6 - (-1)) = 4(5)1(10)+0(5)4(-5) - 1(-10) + 0(-5) = 20+10+0-20 + 10 + 0 = 10-10 The determinant for Option C is not equal to zero, so this line is not coplanar with the given line.

For Option D : x+11=y22=z55\dfrac{x + 1}{1} = \dfrac{y - 2}{2} = \dfrac{z - 5}{5} The coordinates of any point on this line are (1,2,5)(-1, 2, 5) and the direction ratios are (1,2,5)(1, 2, 5).

The determinant is :

1(3)2155315125=210315125\begin{vmatrix} -1 - (-3) & 2 - 1 & 5 - 5 \\ -3 & 1 & 5 \\ 1 & 2 & 5 \end{vmatrix} = \begin{vmatrix} 2 & 1 & 0 \\ -3 & 1 & 5 \\ 1 & 2 & 5 \end{vmatrix}

Applying the formula : = 2(1552)1((35)(51))+0((32)(11))2(1*5 - 5*2) - 1((-3*5) - (5*1)) + 0((-3*2) - (1*1)) = 2(510)1(155)+0(61)2(5 - 10) - 1(-15 - 5) + 0(-6 - 1) = 2(5)1(20)+0(7)2(-5) - 1(-20) + 0(-7) = 10+20+0-10 + 20 + 0 = 1010 So the determinant for Option D is not equal to zero, which means the line in Option D is not coplanar with the given line.

Q166
The plane, passing through the points (0,1,2)(0,-1,2) and (1,2,1)(-1,2,1) and parallel to the line passing through (5,1,7)(5,1,-7) and (1,1,1)(1,-1,-1), also passes through the point :
A (0,5,2)(0,5,-2)
B (2,0,1)(2,0,1)
C (1,2,1)(1,-2,1)
D (2,5,0)(-2,5,0)
Correct Answer
Option D
Solution

The first step is to find the normal vector to the desired plane.

Since the plane is parallel to the line passing through the points (5, 1, -7) and (1, -1, -1), the direction vector of that line is also parallel to the plane.

The direction vector is the difference between the coordinates of the two points, which is (5-1, 1-(-1), -7-(-1)) = (4, 2, -6).

Next, let's find another vector that is parallel to the plane.

This vector can be obtained by taking the difference between the coordinates of the points (0, -1, 2) and (-1, 2, 1), which the plane passes through.

This gives us a vector of (0-(-1), -1-2, 2-1) = (1, -3, 1).

The normal to the plane is perpendicular to both these vectors.

It can be found by taking the cross product of the two vectors.

The cross product of vectors (4, 2, -6) and (1, -3, 1) is :

n=i^j^k^426131=i^(16)j^(+10)+k^(14)=16i^10j^14k^\begin{aligned} & \vec{n}=\left|\begin{array}{ccc} \hat{i} & \hat{j} & \hat{k} \\ 4 & 2 & -6 \\ 1 & -3 & 1 \end{array}\right|=\hat{i}(-16)-\hat{j}(+10)+\hat{k}(-14) \\\\ & =-16 \hat{i}-10 \hat{j}-14 \hat{k} \end{aligned}

The equation of the plane can now be written in the form : -16x - 10y - 14z = d We can find the constant 'd' by substituting one of the points through which the plane passes, say (0, -1, 2) : d = -16.0 -10.(-1) -14.2 = 10 - 28 = -18 So, the equation of the plane is -16x - 10y - 14z = -18.

Now, we substitute the given options into the equation to check which one satisfies it : Option A: (-16.0 -10.5 -14.(-2) = -18) => -50 + 28 = -22 ≠ -18, so A is not correct.

Option B: (-16.2 -10.0 -14.1 = -18) => -32 - 14 = -46 ≠ -18, so B is not correct.

Option C: (-16.1 -10.(-2) -14.1 = -18) => -16 + 20 -14 = -10 ≠ -18, so C is not correct.

Option D: (-16.(-2) -10.5 -14.0 = -18) => 32 - 50 = -18, so D is correct.

So, the plane also passes through the point given in Option D, which is (-2, 5, 0).

Q167
Let N\mathrm{N} be the foot of perpendicular from the point P(1,2,3)\mathrm{P}(1,-2,3) on the line passing through the points (4,5,8)(4,5,8) and (1,7,5)(1,-7,5). Then the distance of NN from the plane 2x2y+z+5=02 x-2 y+z+5=0 is :
A 7
B 6
C 9
D 8
Correct Answer
Option A
Solution

Equation of line

x441=y55(7)=z885\frac{x-4}{4-1}=\frac{y-5}{5-(-7)}=\frac{z-8}{8-5}
x43=y512=z83\frac{x-4}{3}=\frac{y-5}{12}=\frac{z-8}{3}

Let point N(3λ+4,12λ+5,3λ+8)\mathrm{N}(3 \lambda+4,12 \lambda+5,3 \lambda+8)

PN=(3λ+41)i^+(12λ+5(2))j^+(3λ+83)k^\overrightarrow{\mathrm{PN}}=(3 \lambda+4-1) \hat{i}+(12 \lambda+5-(-2)) \hat{j}+(3 \lambda+8-3) \hat{\mathrm{k}}
PN=(3λ+3)i^+(12λ+7)j^+(3λ+5)k^\overrightarrow{\mathrm{PN}}=(3 \lambda+3) \hat{i}+(12 \lambda+7) \hat{\mathrm{j}}+(3 \lambda+5) \hat{\mathrm{k}}

And parallel vector to line (say a=3i^+12j^+3k^\vec{a}=3 \hat{i}+12 \hat{j}+3 \hat{k} ) Now, PNa=0\overrightarrow{\mathrm{PN}} \cdot \overrightarrow{\mathrm{a}}=0

(3λ+3)3+(12λ+7)12+(3λ+5)3=0162λ+108=0λ=108162=23\begin{aligned} & (3 \lambda+3) 3+(12 \lambda+7) 12+(3 \lambda+5) 3=0 \\\\ & 162 \lambda+108=0 \Rightarrow \lambda=\frac{-108}{162}=\frac{-2}{3} \end{aligned}

So point N\mathrm{N} is (2,3,6)(2,-3,6) Now distance of N(2, -3, 6) from

2x2y+z+5=02 x-2 y+z+5=0

is =2(2)2(3)+6+54+4+1=7=\left|\dfrac{2(2)-2(-3)+6+5}{\sqrt{4+4+1}}\right|=7

Q168
Let the equation of plane passing through the line of intersection of the planes x+2y+az=2x+2 y+a z=2 and xy+z=3x-y+z=3 be 5x11y+bz=6a15 x-11 y+b z=6 a-1. For cZc \in \mathbb{Z}, if the distance of this plane from the point (a,c,c)(a,-c, c) is 2a\dfrac{2}{\sqrt{a}}, then a+bc\dfrac{a+b}{c} is equal to :
A -2
B 4
C 2
D -4
Correct Answer
Option D
Solution

Given the equation of the plane passing through the intersection of the two given planes:

P:(x+2y+az2)+λ(xy+z3)=0P: (x + 2y + az - 2) + \lambda(x - y + z - 3) = 0
x(λ+1)+y(2λ)+z(a+λ)23λ=0\Rightarrow x(\lambda+1)+y(2-\lambda)+z(a+\lambda)-2-3 \lambda=0

This is the same as the given equation

5x11y+bz=6a15x - 11y + bz = 6a - 1

. Now, comparing the coefficients of the corresponding variables in both equations:

λ+15=2λ11=a+λb=2+3λ6a1\frac{\lambda+1}{5} = \frac{2-\lambda}{-11} = \frac{a+\lambda}{b} = \frac{2+3\lambda}{6a-1}

Solving for λ\lambda:

11λ11=105λ-11\lambda -11 = 10 - 5\lambda
6λ=21λ=726\lambda = -21 \Rightarrow \lambda = -\frac{7}{2}

Now, substituting the value of λ\lambda back into the equations:

2λ11=2+3λ6a12+7211=22126a1\frac{2-\lambda}{-11} = \frac{2+3\lambda}{6a-1} \Rightarrow \frac{2+\frac{7}{2}}{-11} = \frac{2-\frac{21}{2}}{6a-1}

From this equation, we find the value of a :

6a1=17a=36a - 1 = 17 \Rightarrow a = 3

Now, substituting the value of

aa

and λ\lambda into the equation:

2λ11=a+λb12=372b\frac{2-\lambda}{-11} = \frac{a+\lambda}{b} \Rightarrow -\frac{1}{2} = \frac{3 - \frac{7}{2}}{b}
b2=12b=1\Rightarrow -\frac{b}{2} = -\frac{1}{2} \Rightarrow b = 1

Therefore, the point

(a,c,c)(3,c,c)(a, -c, c) \equiv (3, -c, c)

. The given distance is

2a=23\frac{2}{\sqrt{a}} = \frac{2}{\sqrt{3}}

. The plane is:

5x11y+z=175x - 11y + z = 17

. Now, let's find the distance:

15+11c+c17147=23\left|\frac{15 + 11c + c - 17}{\sqrt{147}}\right| = \frac{2}{\sqrt{3}}
c=1,43\Rightarrow c = -1, \frac{4}{3}

Since

cZc \in \mathbb{Z}

, we have

c=1c = -1

. Therefore,

a+bc=3+11=4\frac{a+b}{c} = \frac{3+1}{-1} = -4

.

Q169

d1=2i^+k^\vec{d_1} = 2\hat{i} + \hat{k}

Direction vector of line 2:

d2=i^j^+k^\vec{d_2} = \hat{i} - \hat{j} + \hat{k}

Now, let's find the cross product

N=d1×d2\vec{N} = \vec{d_1} \times \vec{d_2}
N=i^j^k^201111=(i^(0+1)j^(21)+k^(20))=i^j^2k^\vec{N} = \begin{vmatrix} \hat{i} & \hat{j} & \hat{k} \\ 2 & 0 & 1 \\ 1 & -1 & 1 \\ \end{vmatrix} = (\hat{i}(0+1) - \hat{j}(2-1) + \hat{k}(-2-0)) = \hat{i} - \hat{j} - 2\hat{k}

So, the direction vector of the line of shortest distance is

N=i^j^2k^\vec{N} = \hat{i} - \hat{j} - 2\hat{k}

. 2. Find the equation of a line passing through point

A(1,2,3)A(-1, 2, 3)

and having the direction vector

N\vec{N}

:

x+11=y21=z32=λ\frac{x + 1}{1} = \frac{y - 2}{-1} = \frac{z - 3}{-2} = \lambda

3. Find the point

PP

where the line intersects the given plane: Let the coordinates of point

PP

be in terms of λ\lambda:

P(λ1,λ+2,2λ+3)P(\lambda - 1, -\lambda + 2, -2\lambda + 3)

Since

PP

lies on the plane

x2y+3z=10x - 2y + 3z = 10

, we can substitute the coordinates of

PP

in terms of λ\lambda into the equation of the plane:

(λ1)2(λ+2)+3(2λ+3)=10(\lambda - 1) - 2(-\lambda + 2) + 3(-2\lambda + 3) = 10
λ=2\lambda = -2
P(3,4,7)P(-3, 4, 7)

4. Calculate the distance between points

AA

and

PP

:

AP=(3(1))2+(42)2+(73)2=26AP = \sqrt{(-3 - (-1))^2 + (4 - 2)^2 + (7 - 3)^2} = 2\sqrt{6}
