Q 11 :    

Let the line L intersect the lines x – 2 = – y = z – 1, 2(x + 1) = 2(y –1) = z + 1 and be parallel to the line x23=y11=z22. Then which of the following points lis on L?          [2024]

  • (13,1,1)

     

  • (13,1,1)

     

  • (13,1,1)

     

  • (13,1,1)

     

(2)

L1 : x21=y1=z11=λ

L2 : x+1(1/2)=y1(1/2)=z+11=μ

Any point on L1 and L2 will be of the form (λ+2,λ,λ+1) and (μ21,μ2+1,μ1) respectively.

Now direction ratios of line L are given by

< λμ2+3, λμ21, λμ+2>

Also L is parallel to line x23=y11=z22

 λμ2+33=λμ211=λμ+22

 λμ2+3=3λ3μ23        ... (i)    2(λμ2+3)=3(λμ+2)     ... (ii)}   λ=43,  μ=23

  Points will be (23,43,13) and (43,23,53)

  L is given by x233=y431=z+132

Point (13,1,1) will satisfy this line L.



Q 12 :    

Consider the line L passing through the points (1, 2, 3) and (2, 3, 5). The distance of the point (113,113,193) from the line L along the line 3x112=3y111=3z192 is equal to         [2024]

  • 4

     

  • 3

     

  • 5

     

  • 6

     

(2)

Equation of line L is given by

x121=y232=z353=λ

i.e.x11=y21=z32=λ

  Any point on L is given by (λ+1, λ+2, 2λ+3)

Also, any point of L1 : 3x112=3y111=3z192=μ

is given by (2μ+113,μ+113,2μ+193)

Now, λ+1=2μ+113, λ+2=μ+113, 2λ+3=2μ+193

 3λ2μ=8 and 3λμ=5

On solving these two equations, we get λ=23 and μ=3

Point on L is (53,83,133)

Required distance = (11353)2+(11383)2+(193133)2

=4+1+1=3 units.



Q 13 :    

If the shortest distance between the lines xλ2=y21=z11 and x31=y12=z21 is 1, then the sum of all possible values of λ is:          [2024]

  • 23

     

  • 0

     

  • 33

     

  • 23

     

(1)

The shortest distance between the given lines is given by

d=||x2x1y2y1z2z1a1b1c1a2b2c2|(a1b2a2b1)2+(b1c2b2c1)2+(c1a2c2a1)2|

 1=||3λ11211121|(3)2+(3)2+(3)2|

 1=|(3λ)(3)+1(3)+1(3)|27

 33=333λ  or  33=333λ

 λ=0 or 63=3λ  λ=23

  The sum of possible values of λ=0+23=23.



Q 14 :    

Let P and Q be the points on the line x+38=y42=z+12 which are at a distance of 6 units from the point R(1, 2, 3). If the centroid of the triangle PQR is (α,β,γ), then α2+β2+γ2 is :          [2024]

  • 18

     

  • 24

     

  • 26

     

  • 36

     

(1)

The given equation of line is,

x+38=y42=z+12=λ (say)

  Any point on line is (8λ3, 2λ+4, 2λ1)

Now, distance of this point from R(1, 2, 3)

 (8λ4)2+(2λ+2)2+(2λ4)2=36

 72λ272λ=0  λ(λ1)=0

 λ=0  or  λ=1

So, coordinates of P = (–3, 4, –1) and coordinates of Q = (5, 6, 1).

Now, centroid of PQR = (1, 4, 1)  α=1, β=4, γ=1

So, α2+β2+γ2=18.



Q 15 :    

If the mirror image of the point P(3, 4, 9) in the line x-13=y+12=z-21 is (α,β,γ), then 14(α+β+γ) is :          [2024]

  • 102

     

  • 138

     

  • 132

     

  • 108

     

(4)

Given equation of line is

x13=y+12=z21=λ (say)

  Any point on line, say m=(3λ+1, 2λ1, λ+2)

Now, d.r.'s of  PM=<3λ2, 2λ5, λ7> and d.r.'s of given line = <3, 2, 1>   PMline

  3(3λ2)+2(2λ5)+1(λ7)=0

 14λ=23  λ=2314

Now, M is the mid point of P(3, 4, 9) and Q(α,β,γ)

  8314=3+α2  α=627  167=4+β2  β=47

and  5114=9+γ2  γ=127

So, 14(α+β+γ)=14×547=108.

  • 12

     

  • 21

     

  • 14

Let A be the point (7, –2, 11).

Equation of line AB is x72=y+23=z116=λ

 x=2λ+7, y=3λ2 and z=6λ+11

Point B is of the form (2λ+7, 3λ2, 6λ+11).

Now, point B lies on the line x61=y40=z83

 2λ+761=3λ240=6λ+1183

 3λ6=0  λ=2

Thus point B is (3, 4, –1).

  Required distance = AB=42+(6)2+122

.=16+36+144=196=14 units.



Q 17 :    

If the shortest distance between the lines x41=y+12=z3 and xλ2=y+14=z25 is 65, then the sum of all possible values of λ is :          [2024]

  • 5

     

  • 7

     

  • 8

     

  • 10

Here x1=4, y1=1, z1=0 and x2=λ, y2=1, z2=2

a1=1, b1=2, c1=3 and a2=2, b2=4, c2=5

  65=||λ402123245|(10+12)2+(6+5)2+(44)2|

 65=|2λ85| λ=7 or 1.



Q 18 :

  • (1,2,12)

     

  • (3,4,322)

Let the coordinates of M are (λ,2λ+1,3λ+2) lie on the given line.

Let given point is P(1, 0, 7).

  Direction ratio of PM are (λ1,2λ+1,3λ5) PM is perpendicular the given line L1.

  1(λ1)+2(2λ+1)+3(3λ5)=0

 λ1+4λ+2+9λ15=0

 14λ14=0  λ=1

  The coordinates of M are (1, 3, 5).

  M is mid point of PQ.

So, α+12=1,β2=3 and γ+72=5

 α=1, β=6 and γ=3

  The image of point P(1, 0, 7) is Q(1, 6, 3).

Now the direction cosine of the line are

m=cos 2π3=cos(ππ3)=cosπ3=12

n=cos(3π4)=cos(ππ4)=12

We know that, l2+m2+n2=1

 l2+14+12=1

 l2=11412=4124=14  l=±12

 l=12        (  Line make an acute angle with x-axis)

The equation of line passing through (1, 6, 3) with direction cosines 12, 12 and 12 is given by

r=i^+6j^+3k^+λ(12i^12j^12k^)

=(1+λ2)i^+(6λ2)j^+(3λ2)k^
