D Correct answer
Explanation

Clearly direction ratios of perpendicular drawn from origin to the given plane are $3,4,-6$
Hence equation of perpendicular line to the given plane and  passing through origin is given by,
$\cfrac{x}{3}=\cfrac{y}{4}=\cfrac{z}{-6}=k$ (say)
Now let foot of perpendicular be $P(3k, 4k, -6k)$
Also this point lie in the given plane $\Rightarrow 3(3k)+4(4k)-6(-6k)+1=0\Rightarrow k = -\cfrac{1}{61}$
Hence $P \equiv \left(-\cfrac{3}{61}, -\cfrac{4}{61}, \cfrac{6}{61}\right)$

B Correct answer
Explanation

We know that the equation of the line passing through the point $(x _1,y _1,z _1) , (x _2,y _2,z _2) $


$ \dfrac{x-x _1}{x _2-x _1} = \dfrac {y-y _1}{y _2-y _1} =  \dfrac {z-z _1}{z _2-z _1}$

Now the given line passes through the points $(2,−3,1) , (3,−4,−5)$


Hence the equation of the line is $ \dfrac{x-2}{3-2} = \dfrac {y+3}{-4+3} =  \dfrac {z-1}{-5-1}$
`
= $ \dfrac{x-2}{1} = \dfrac {y+3}{-1} =  \dfrac {z-1}{-6}$

Let the above equation be equal to :

$ \dfrac{x-2}{1} = 1$ .... (1)

$\dfrac {y+3}{-1} = a$ .....(2)

$\dfrac {z-1}{-6} = 7$ .....(3)

$\Rightarrow$ from eqn (2) 

$y=−4+a$

cube cuts the plane $2x+y+z=7$ ... (4)

substitute the $(1, k ,7)$ in eqn (4)

$2(1) + (-4+a) + 7 = 7$

$a = 2$

substitute a value in $y=−4+a$
we get $y = -4+2 = -2$

hence the ans will be $(1 , -2 , 7)$

The condition that the line $\displaystyle \frac{x-{\alpha }'}{l}=\frac{y -{\beta   }'}{m}=\frac{z-{\gamma  }'}{n}$ in the plane $Ax + By + Cz + D = 0$ is

  1. $A{\alpha }'+B{\beta }'+C{\gamma }'+D=0\ and\ Al+Bm+Cn\neq 0$
  2. $A{\alpha }'+B{\beta }'+C{\gamma }'+D\neq0\ and\ Al+Bm+Cn= 0$
  3. $A{\alpha }'+B{\beta }'+C{\gamma }'+D=0\ and\ Al+Bm+Cn= 0$
  4. $A{\alpha }'+B{\beta }'+C{\gamma }'=0\ and\ Al+Bm+Cn= 0$

C Correct answer
Explanation

The line $\dfrac{x- \alpha^1}{l}=\dfrac{y-\beta^1}{m}=\dfrac{z-\gamma^1}{n}$ in the plane $Ax+By+Cz+D=0$

then multiplication sum id corresponding direction ratio will be zero so here $Al+Bm+Cn=0$
 and  one thing more line passes through $(\alpha^1,\beta^1,\gamma^1)$
So, plane Also passe through $(\alpha^1,\beta^1,\gamma^1)$
hence $A\alpha^1+B\beta^1+C\gamma^1+D=0$

 Consider a point $P (1, 2, 3)$, plane $ \pi : x + y + z = 11 $ and the line $ L : \displaystyle \frac{x+1}{1}=\displaystyle \frac{y-12}{-2} = \displaystyle \frac{z-7}{2} $ The foot of the $ \perp  $ drawn from the point P meet the plane $ \pi $ at M, then co-ordinate of M is

C Correct answer
Explanation
$P = (1,2,3) \rightarrow$ Point
$\Rightarrow\pi  : x+y+z = 11$
     $L : \dfrac { x+1 }{ 1 } =\dfrac { y-12 }{ -2 } =\dfrac { z-7 }{ 2 }$
Foot of perpendicular to the plane :
$\Rightarrow\dfrac { h-{ x } _{ 1 } }{ a } =\dfrac { k-{ y } _{ 1 } }{ b } =\dfrac { l-{ z } _{ 1 } }{ c } =\dfrac { -(a{ x } _{ 1 }+b{ y } _{ 1 }+c{ z } _{ 1 }) }{ { a }^{ 2 }+{ b }^{ 2 }+{ c }^{ 2 } }$
     $\dfrac { h-1 }{ 1 } =\dfrac { k-2 }{ 1 } =\dfrac { l-3 }{ 1 } =\dfrac { 1+2+3 }{ 3 }$
     $h-1 = k-2= l-3= -2$
     $h= -1, k=0, l=1$
The required point is
$(h+\dfrac { 11 }{ 3 } , k+\dfrac { 11 }{ 3 } , l+\dfrac { 11 }{ 3 } )$
$(\dfrac { 8 }{ 3 } , \dfrac { 11 }{ 3 } ,\dfrac { 14 }{ 3 } )$
Hence the answer is $(\dfrac { 8 }{ 3 } , \dfrac { 11 }{ 3 } ,\dfrac { 14 }{ 3 } ).$

The point of intersection of the line $\dfrac{x-1}{3}=\dfrac{y+2}{4}=\dfrac{z-3}{-2}$ and the plane $2x-y+3z-1=0$, is

  1. $(-10, 10, 3)$

B Correct answer
Explanation

The line is (x-1)/3 = (y+2)/4 = (z-3)/-2 = t. So x=3t+1, y=4t-2, z=-2t+3. Substituting into 2x-y+3z-1=0 gives 2(3t+1) - (4t-2) + 3(-2t+3) - 1 = 0. 6t+2 - 4t+2 - 6t+9 - 1 = 0, so -4t + 12 = 0, t=3. Then x=10, y=10, z=-3.

A Correct answer
Explanation

${ P } _{ 1 }\equiv x-2y+z=1$

${ P } _{ 2 }\equiv x+2y-2z=5$
Let $Dr's$ of intersection of planes be $a,b,c$
$\Rightarrow a-2b+c=0$ and $a+2b-2c=0$
$\displaystyle\Rightarrow \frac { a }{ 4-2 } =\frac { b }{ 1+2 } =\frac { c }{ 2+2 } \Rightarrow \frac { a }{ 2 } =\frac { b }{ 3 } =\frac { c }{ 4 } $
Calculating a point which lies on both plane ${P} _{1}$ and ${P} _{2}$,
$x-2y+z=1\Rightarrow2y=x+z-1$ and $x+2y-2z=5\Rightarrow2y=-x+2z+5$
$\Rightarrow x+z-1=-x+2z+5\Rightarrow 2x=z+6$
Now, $z=0\Rightarrow x=3\Rightarrow y=1$
$\therefore$ equation of line passing through $\left( 3,1,0 \right) $ and has $dr's$  $2,3,4$ is
$\displaystyle\therefore \frac { x-3 }{ 2 } =\frac { y-1 }{ 3 } =\frac { z }{ 4 } =\lambda $(say)
$\therefore$ general point on it is $P\left( 2\lambda +3,3\lambda +1,4\lambda  \right) $
Now, solving with plane $2x+2y+z+6=0$
$\Rightarrow 2\left( 2\lambda +3 \right) +2\left( 3\lambda +1 \right) +4\lambda +6=0\ \Rightarrow 4\lambda +6+6\lambda +2+4\lambda +6=0\ \Rightarrow 14\lambda +14=0\Rightarrow \lambda =-1$
$\Rightarrow P\left( 1,-2,-4 \right) $ is the required point of intersection.

A,C Correct answer
Explanation

Equation of the line is $\displaystyle \frac { x-2 }{ 2-3 } =\frac { y+3 }{ -3+4 } =\frac { z-1 }{ 1+5 } $ or $\displaystyle \frac { x-2 }{ -1 } =\frac { y+3 }{ 1 } =\frac { z-1 }{ 6 } $

  3. $4$
  4. $3 \sqrt {2}$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

The D.C. of the line are $\begin{pmatrix}\displaystyle\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}},\,\displaystyle\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}},\,0\end{pmatrix}$
any point on the line at a distance $\lambda$ from $A(0,\,1,\,2)$
is $\begin{pmatrix}0+\displaystyle\frac{\lambda}{\sqrt{2}},\,1+\displaystyle\frac{\lambda}{\sqrt{2}},\,2+\lambda.0\end{pmatrix}$
which lies on $x+y+z=0$
$\therefore\;\displaystyle\frac{\lambda}{\sqrt{2}}+\begin{pmatrix}1+\displaystyle\frac{\lambda}{\sqrt{2}}\end{pmatrix}+2=0$
$\Rightarrow\;\displaystyle\frac{2\lambda}{\sqrt{2}}=-3\;\;\;\;\Rightarrow\;\;\;\;\lambda=\displaystyle\frac{-3}{\sqrt{2}}$
$\therefore\;B=\begin{pmatrix}-\displaystyle\frac{3}{2},\,-\displaystyle\frac{1}{2},\,2\end{pmatrix}$
$A=(0,\,1,\,2)\;&\;B\equiv\;\begin{pmatrix}-\displaystyle\frac{3}{2},\,-\displaystyle\frac{1}{2},\,2\end{pmatrix}$
$AB=\sqrt{\displaystyle\frac{9}{4}+\displaystyle\frac{9}{4}}=\displaystyle\frac{3\sqrt{2}}{2}=\displaystyle\frac{3}{\sqrt{2}}$

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

Equation of plane in cartesian form is, $x-2y+3z-17=0.....(1)$
Assume this plane (1) divide the line segment joining the points $(-2,4,7)$ and $(3,-5,8)$ in $m:n$ ratio.
Therefore,  $\dfrac{m}{n} = \dfrac{-2-2(4)+3(7)-17}{3-2(-5)+3(8)-17}= \dfrac{-3}{10} < 0$
Hence plane (1) divides the given line segment externally  $3:10$.
