Question 1.

1. Write the Cartesian equation. (1)
2. Find the angle between the line. (2)

Answer:
1.

2. cosθ

Question 2.
Find the vector equation of the plane passing through the intersection of the planes \(\bar{r}\).(i + j + k) = 6 and \(\bar{r}\).(2i + 3 j + 4k) = -5 at the point (1,1,1).
Answer:
The Cartesian equation of the planes are x + y + z = 6 and 2x + 3y + 4z = – 5. Therefore the equation of the plane passing through the intersection of these planes is
x + y + z – 6 + k(2x + 3y + 4z + 5) = 0
Since it pass through (1, 1, 1) we get,
1 + 1 + 1 – 6 + k(2 + 3 + 4 + 5) = 0 ⇒ -3 + k14 ⇒ k = \(\frac{3}{14}\)
∴ the equation is
x + y + z + -6 + \(\frac{3}{14}\) (2x + 3 y + 4z + 5) = 0
14x + 14y + 14z – 84 + 6x + 9y + 12z + 15 = 0
20x + 23y + 26z = 69
Vector equation is \(\bar{r}\). (20i + 23j + 26k) = 69.

Question 3.
Find the equation of the plane passing through the intersection of the planes x + y + 4z + 5 = 0 and 2x – y + 3z + 6 = 0 and contains the point (1, 0, 0).
Answer:
The equation of the planes passing through the intersection of the planes
x + y + 4z + 5 = 0 and 2x – y + 3z + 6 = 0 is
x + y + 4z + 5 + k(2x – y + 3z + 6) = 0 ____(1)
Since (1) pass through (1, 0, 0)
⇒ 1 + 0 + 0 + 5 + k(2 – 0 + 0 + 6) = 0
⇒ 6 + 8k = 0 ⇒ k = –\(\frac{3}{4}\); Then (1)
⇒ x + y + z + 5 + \(\frac{3}{4}\)(2x – y + 3z + 6) = 0
⇒ 4x + 4y + 16z + 20 – 6x + 3y – 9z – 18 = 0
⇒ 2x – 7y – 7z = 2.

1. \(\overline{A B}\) = (3 – 1)i + (- 3 – 3)j + (3 – 0)k = 2i – 6j + 3k.

2. The Cartesian equation of a line passing through the point (4, 0, -1 ) and parallel to the vector \(\overline{A B}\) is

3. We take, \(\frac{x-4}{2}=\frac{y}{-6}=\frac{z+1}{3}\) = r then any point of the line can be taken as (2r + 4, -6r, 3r – 1). Assume that this point be the foot of the perpendicular drawn from (2, 3, 4 ). The dr’s of the line is 2 : – 6 : 3 and dr’s of the perpendicular line L is
2r + 4 – 2 : -6r – 3 : 3r – 1 – 4 ⇒ 2r + 2: -6r – 3 : 3r – 5
Since perpendicular,
2(2 r + 2) – 6(-6 r -3) + 3(3r – 5) = 0
49r = -7 ⇒ r = \(\frac{-7}{49}\) = –\(\frac{1}{7}\). Therefore the foot of the

2. Let \(\frac{x-1}{-2}=\frac{y-3}{1}=\frac{z-4}{-1}\) = λ
Then any point on the line is (-2λ + 1, λ + 3, -λ + 4)
Since the plane 2x + y + z + 3 = 0 cuts the aboveline. We have,
⇒ 2(-λ + 1) + λ + 3 – λ + 4 + 3 = 0
⇒ -2λ + 2 + λ + 3 – λ + 4 + 3 = 0
⇒ -2λ = -12 ⇒ λ = 6
∴ point of intersection is (-2 × 6 + 1, 6 + 3, -6 + 4)

2. The equation of a plane parallel to the above plane differ only by a constant, therefore let the equation be 2x – 3y + 5z + k = 0.
⇒ 6 – 12 – 5 + k = 0 ⇒ k = 11
Therefore the equation is 2x – 3y + 5z + 11 = 0

Let us put λ = 1 and λ = -1
\(\bar{r}\) = (i + 2k) + 1(i + 2j + 3k) = 2i + 2j + 5k
⇒ (2, 2, 5)
\(\bar{r}\) = (i + 2k) – 1(i + 2j + 3k) = 0i – 2j – k
⇒ (0, -2, -1)
The equidistant points are(2, 2, 5) and (0, -2, -1).

2. Any point on the line is
\(\frac{x-3}{2}=\frac{y+1}{3}=\frac{z-5}{-2}\) = λ
x = 2λ + 3, y = 3, λ – 1, z = -2λ + 5
Since this lies on the plane ,it satisfies the plane
5(2λ + 3) + 2(3λ – 1) -6(-2λ + 5) – 7 = 0
10λ + 6λ + 12λ + 15 – 2 – 30 – 7 = 0
28λ = 24
λ = 6/7
The point of intersection is \(\left[\frac{33}{7}, \frac{11}{7}, \frac{23}{7}\right]\).

From the following figure

1. Find \(\overline{A B}\). (1)
2. Find the vector equation of line L. (1)
3. Find a point on line L other than C. (2)

Answer:
1. P.v of A = i – j + 4k,
P.v. of B = 2i + j + 2k
\(\overline{A B}\) = p. v. of B – p. v. of A
= 2i + j + 2k -(i – j + 4k) = i + 2j – 2k.

2. The line L passes through (1, -2, -3) and parallel to \(\overline{A B}\)

∴ Vector equation of line L is \(\bar{r}=\bar{a}+\lambda \bar{m}\)

3. From (1) of part (ii), we have
xi + yj + zk = (l + λ)i + (-2 + 2λ)j + (-3 – 2λ)k
Put λ = 1
⇒ xi +yj + zk = (1 +1)i + (-2 + 2)j + (-3 – 2 )k
⇒ xi + yj + zk = 2i + 0j – 5k
Therefore a point on line L is (2, 0, -5).

Question 14.

Answer:

Perpendicular distance from origin = d = \(\frac{6}{\sqrt{29}}\)
The equation of the Plane is \(\bar{r}\).\(\hat{n}\) = d

Cartesian equation is 2x – 3y + 4z = 6
The direction cosines perpendicular to the Plane is \(\frac{2}{\sqrt{29}},-\frac{3}{\sqrt{29}}, \frac{4}{\sqrt{29}}\).
Perpendicular distance to the Plane is as \(\frac{6}{\sqrt{29}}\)

Answer:
1. Vector equation of a straight line is \(\bar{r}=\bar{a}+\lambda \bar{b}\) where a is \(\bar{a}\) fixed point and \(\bar{b}\) is a vector parallel to the line. Here \(\bar{a}\) = 2i – 2y + 3 it and \(\bar{b}\) = i – j + 4k. Therefore vector equation of the line \(\bar{r}\) = 2i – 2j + 3k + λ(i – j + 4k).

2. The vector parallel to the line is i – j + 4k and vector normal to the plane is i + 5j + k.
Then, (i – j + 4k). (i + 5j + k) = 1 – 5 + 4 = 0

Thr Dr’s of the Perpendicular plane is 1, -1, 1
⇒ (1 + 2λ)(1) + (1 + 3λ)(-1) + (1 + 4λ)(1) = 0
⇒ 1 + 2λ – 1 – 3λ + 1 + 4λ = 0
⇒ 3λ + 1 = 0 ⇒ λ = \(\frac{-1}{3}\)
(1) ⇒ x + y + z – \(\frac{1}{3}\)(2x + 3y + 4z – 5) = 0
⇒ 3x + 3y + 3z – 2x – 3y – 4z + 5 = 0

Answer:
1. Given, \(\bar{r}\).(6i – 3j – 2k) + 1 = 0 ____(1)
Now, |6i – 3j – 2k| = \(\sqrt{36+9+4}\) = 7
∴ \(\frac{6}{7} i-\frac{3}{7} j-\frac{2}{7} k\) is a unit perpendicular to the plane (1)
⇒ the dc’s perpendicular to the plane (1) are \(\frac{6}{7},-\frac{3}{7},-\frac{2}{7}\).

2. We have, \(\frac{6}{7} i-\frac{3}{7} j-\frac{2}{7} k\) is a unit perpendicular to the Plane (1). Therefore, a vector of magnitude 14 units perpendicular to the Plane (1) is 14(\(\frac{6}{7} i-\frac{3}{7} j-\frac{2}{7} k\))
⇒ 12i – 6j – 4k.

1. Find one point each on lines L₁ and L₂. (1)
2. Find the distance between those points. (2)
3. Find the shortest distance between L₁ and L₂. (3)

Answer:

\(\bar{r}\) = (i + 2j – k) + λ(i – j + k)

Question 4.
Consider three points on space ( 2, 1, 0 ), (3, -2, -2)and(3, 1, 7)

1. Find the Cartesian equation of the plane passing through the above points. (2)
2. Convert the above equation into vector form.
3. Hence, find a unit vector perpendicular to the above plane and also find the perpendicular distance of the plane from the origin. (2)

Answer:
1. Equation of the plane is


⇒ (x – 2)(-21) – (y – 1)(7 + 2) + z(0 + 3) = 0
⇒ 21x + 42 – 9y + 9 + 3z = 0 ⇒ -21x – 9y + 3z + 51 = 0
⇒ 7x + 3y – z = 17.

2. Vector form is \(\bar{r}\).(7i + 3j – k) = 17 _____(1)

3. Now, |7i + 3j – k| = \(\sqrt{49+9+1}=\sqrt{59}\)
Dividing equation (1) by \(\sqrt{59}\), we get

Therefore the above equation is the normal form of the plane. Then \(\frac{7 i+3 j-k}{\sqrt{59}}\) is the unit vector perpendicular to the plane and \(\frac{17}{\sqrt{59}}\) is the perpendicular distance from the origin.

Question 5.

\(\overline{O A}\) = i + 2j + 3k
\(\overline{O B}\) = i – 2j + 4k
\(\overline{O C}\) = 2i + 3j + k
are adjacent sides of the parallelopiped.

1. Find the base area of the parallelopiped. (2)
   (Base determined by \(\overline{O A}\) and \(\overline{O B}\))
2. Find the volume of the parallelopiped. (2)
3. Find the height of the parallelopiped. (2)

Answer:
1. \(\overline{O A}\) × \(\overline{O B}\) =

= 14i – j – 4k
Base area = |l4i – j – 4k|
\(=\sqrt{196+1+16}=\sqrt{213}\)

2. Volume of the parallelopiped is

= (14i – j – 4k).(2i + 3 j + k)
= 28 – 3 – 4 = 21.

3. Height = \(\frac{\text {volume}}{\text {base area}}=\frac{21}{\sqrt{213}}\).

Question 6.

1. Find the equation of the line passing through the point (2, 1, 0) and (3, 2, -1) (3)
2. Find the shortest distance of the above line from the line \(\bar{r}\) = (i – j + 2k) + λ(2i + j – 3k) (3)

Answer:
1.

2.


= i(-3 + 1) – j(-3 + 2) + k(1 – 2)
= -2i + j – k

Question 7.
The equation of two lines are

1. Find the dr’s of the given lines. (2)
2. Find the angle between the given lines. (2)
3. Find the equation of the line passing through (2, 1, 3) and perpendicular to the given lines. (2)

Answer:
1. The given lines are

The dr’s of (1) are 2, 2, 3 and dr’s of (2) are -3, 2, 5.

2. The angle between (1) and (2) is given by

3. Let a, b, c be the dr’s of the line perpendicular to lines (1) and (2).
∴ 2a + 2b + 3c = 0, -3a + 2b + 5c = 0
Solving by the rule of cross-multiplication, we get

∴ dr’s of the required line are 4, -19, 10 and the line passes through (2, 1, 3).
∴ Equation of the required line is
\(\frac{x-2}{4}=\frac{y-1}{-19}=\frac{z-3}{10}\).

Question 8.

1. Find the direction cosines of the vector 2i + 2j – k. (1)
2. Find the distance of the point (2, 3, 4) from the plane \(\bar{r}\).(3i – 6j + 2 k) = -11. (2)
3. Find the shortest distance between the lines \(\bar{r}\) = (2i – j – k)+ λ(3i – 5 j + 2k) an \(\bar{r}\) = (i+ 2 j + k)+ µ(i – j + k) (3)

Answer:
1. Direction ratios of the vector 2i + 2j – k is 2, 2, -1
Direction cosines of the vector 2i + 2j – k is

2. The equation of the plane in the Cartesian form is 3x – 6y + 2z + 11 = 0 . Then distance from the point (2, 3, 4) is

3. The given lines are \(\bar{r}\) = (2i – j – k) + λ(3i – 5j + 2k)
