Q1.Determine whether the given planes are parallel or perpendicular, and in case they are neither, find the angles between them.7x + 5y + 6z + 30 = 0 and 3x – y – 10z + 4 = 0
Q2.In the following case, determine whether the given planes are parallel orperpendicular, and in case they are neither, find the angles between them. 2x + y + 3z – 2 = 0 and x – 2y + 5 = 0
Answer : Option CExplaination / Solution: We have , 2x + y + 3z – 2 = 0 and x – 2y + 5 = 0. Let θ be the angle between the planes , then As a1a2+b1b2+c1c2=2(1)+1(−2)+3(0)=0 Therefore , the given planes are perpendicular to each other.
Q3.In the following case, determine whether the given planes are parallel or perpendicular, and in case they are neither, find the angles between them. 2x – 2y + 4z + 5 = 0 and 3x – 3y + 6z – 1 = 0
Answer : Option BExplaination / Solution: We have, 2x – 2y + 4z + 5 = 0 and 3x – 3y + 6z = 0 . Here , a1a2=b1b2=c1c2=23 Therefore , the given planes are parallel.
Q4.In the following case, determine whether the given planes are parallel or perpendicular, and in case they are neither, find the angles between them. 2x – y + 3z – 1 = 0 and 2x – y + 3z + 3 = 0
Answer : Option BExplaination / Solution: We have , 2x – y + 3z – 1 = 0 and 2x – y + 3z + 3 = 0 . Here , a1a2=b1b2=c1c2=1 Therefore , the given planes are parallel.
Q5.In the following case, determine whether the given planes are parallel or perpendicular, and in case they are neither, find the angles between them. 4x + 8y + z – 8 = 0 and y + z – 4 = 0
Answer : Option DExplaination / Solution: We have, 4x + 8y + z – 8 = 0 and y + z – 4 = 0. Let be the angle between the planes, then
Q9.Equation of a plane perpendicular to a given line with direction ratios A, B, C and passing through a given point (x1, y1, z1) is
Answer : Option BExplaination / Solution:
In Cartesian co – ordinate system Equation of a plane perpendicular to a given line with direction ratios A, B, C and passing through a given point (x1, y1, z1) is given by : A (x – x1) + B (y – y1) + C (z – z1) = 0 .
Q10.Find the coordinates of the foot of the perpendicular drawn from the origin to 2x + 3y + 4z – 12 = 0
Answer : Option DExplaination / Solution: D.R.’s of the line are < 2 , 3 , 4 > . Therefore , equation of the line is : x−02=y−03=z−04=λ Thus , the coordinates of any point P on the above line are P ( 2λ , 3λ ,4λ ) . But , this point P also lies on the given plane: 2(2λ) + 3(3λ ) +4(4λ) – 12 = 0.⇒29λ=12⇒λ=1229 Therefore , the coordinates of the foot of perpendicular are given by : (2×1229,3×1229,4×1229)
