Correct Option: A

If the line $\displaystyle \frac{x - 1}{1} = \frac{y + 1}{-2} = \frac{z + 1}{\lambda}$ lies in the plane $\displaystyle 3x - 2y + 5z = 0$ then $\displaystyle \lambda$ is

  1. $\displaystyle 1$

  2. $\displaystyle -\frac{7}{5}$

  3. $\displaystyle \frac{5}{7}$

  4. no possible value


Correct Option: B
Explanation:
We have equation of plane,
$3x-2y+5z=0.......(1)$

We have line,

$\dfrac{x-1}{1}=\dfrac{y+1}{-2}=\dfrac{z+1}{\lambda}=\mu......(2)$
General point on line is,
$P=(\mu+1,-2\mu-1,\lambda\mu-1)$
Since line (2) lies on line plane (1),so point P satisfy equation (1)
Therefore,
$3(\mu+1)-2(2\mu-1)+5(\lambda\mu-1)=0$
$3\mu+3+4\mu+2+5\mu\lambda-5=0$
$7\mu+5\mu\lambda=0$
$\lambda=\dfrac{-7}{5}$ 
Therefore option (B) is Correct.

The Foot of the $\displaystyle \perp$ from origin to the plane $\displaystyle 3x + 4y - 6z + 1 = 0$ is

  1. $\displaystyle - \frac {3}{61}, \frac {4}{61}, \frac {6}{61}$

  2. $\displaystyle \frac {-3}{61}, \frac {-4}{61}, \frac {-6}{61}$

  3. $\displaystyle \frac {4}{61}, \frac {-3}{61}, \frac {5}{61}$

  4. None of these


Correct Option: D
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 $P \equiv \left(-\cfrac{3}{61}, -\cfrac{4}{61}, \cfrac{6}{61}\right)$

The co-ordinate of a point where the line $(2, -3, 1)$ and $(3, -4, -5)$ cuts the plane $2x + y + z = 7$ are $(1, k, 7)$ then value of $k$ equals

  1. $1$

  2. $-2$

  3. $2$

  4. None of these


Correct Option: B
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. $A{\alpha }'+B{\beta }'+C{\gamma }'=0\ and\ Al+Bm+Cn= 0$


Correct Option: C
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

  1. $ \left ( \displaystyle \frac{8}{3},:\displaystyle \frac{-11}{3},:\displaystyle \frac{14}{3} \right ) $

  2. $ \left ( \displaystyle \frac{-8}{3},:\displaystyle \frac{-11}{3},:\displaystyle \frac{-14}{3} \right ) $

  3. $ \left ( \displaystyle \frac{8}{3},:\displaystyle \frac{11}{3},:\displaystyle \frac{14}{3} \right ) $

  4. None of these


Correct Option: C
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. $(-10, 10, 3)$

  2. $(10, 10, -3)$

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

  4. $(10, -10, -3)$


Correct Option: B

Find the point where the line of intersection of the planes $x-2y+z=1$ and $x+2y-2z=5$ intersects the plane $3x+2y+z+6=0$.

  1. $P\left( 1,-2,-4 \right) $

  2. $P\left( 1,2,-4 \right) $

  3. $P\left( 1,-2,4 \right) $

  4. None of these


Correct Option: A
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.

The line joining the points $\left (2, -3, 1  \right )$ and $\left (3, -4, -5  \right )$ cuts a coordinate plane at the point.

  1. $\left (0, -1, 13 \right )$

  2. $\left ( 0, 0, 1 \right )$

  3. $\left ( -1, 0, 19 \right )$

  4. $\left ( 8, -9, 0 \right )$


Correct Option: A,C
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 } $
Any point on the line $\left( -r+2,r-3,6r+1 \right) $ which cuts the $yz$-plane at the point where $-r+2=0$ or $r=2$
and the point of intersection is $\left( 0,-1,13 \right) $ 
Similarly it cuts the $zx$-plane at $\left( -1,0,19 \right) $ and $xy$ plane at $\displaystyle \left( \frac { 13 }{ 6 } ,\frac { -19 }{ 6 } ,0 \right) $.

Let line L: $\displaystyle \frac{x-1}{2} = \frac{y - 1}{1} = \frac{z - 0}{4} $ & Plane P: $x + 2y - z = 3$

  1. Line is perpendicular to plane

  2. Line is neither parallel nor perpendicular to plane

  3. Plane contains the line

  4. Line and plane do not intersect


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Given line L: $\displaystyle \frac{x-1}{2} = \frac{y - 1}{1} = \frac{z - 0}{4} $

Plane P: $x + 2y - z = 3$
So from the below option c $i.e.$ plane contains the line is correct
