-8z = -8 …..(3)
From (3), z = 1
Substituting z = 1 in (2), we get,
-5y – 5 = -15
-5y = -10

Question 3.
The sum of three numbers is 6. If we multiply third number by 3 and add it to the second number we get 11. By adding first and the third numbers we get a number which is double the second number. Use this information and find a system of linear equations. Find the three numbers using matrices.
Solution:
Let the three numbers be x, y and z. According to the given conditions,
x + y + z = 6.
3z + y = 11, i.e., y + 3z = 11 and x + z = 2y,
i.e., x – 2y + z = 0
Hence, the system of the linear equations is
x + y + z = 6
y + 3z = 11
x – 2y + z = 0
These equations can be written in the matrix form as :

By equality of matrices,
x + y + z = 6 …(1)
y + 3z = 11 …(2)
-3y = -6 …(3)
From (3), y = 2
Substituting y = 2 in (2), we get,
2 + 3z = 11
∴ 3z = 9 ∴ z = 3
Put y = 2, z — 3 in (1), we get,
x + 2 + 3 = 6 ∴ x = 1
∴ x = 1, y = 2, z = 3
Hence, the required numbers are 1, 2 and 3.

Question 4.
The cost of 4 pencils, 3 pens and 2 books is ₹ 150. The cost of 1 pencil, 2 pens and 3 books is ₹ 125. The cos of 6 pencils, 2 pens and 3 books is ₹ 175. Fild the cost of each item by using Matrices.

Let the cost of 1 pencil, 1 pen and 1 book be ₹x, ₹ y, ₹ z respectively.
According to the given conditions,
4x + 3y + 2z = 150
x + 2y + 3z = 125
6x + 2y + 3z = 175
The equations can be written in matrix form as :

By equality of matrices,
x + 2y + 3z = 125 …(1)
-5y – 10z = -350 …(2)
5z = 125 …(3)
From (3), z = 25
Substituting z = 25 in (2), we get
-5y – 10(25) = -350
∴ -5y = -350 + 250 = -100
∴ y = 20
Substituting y = 20, z = 25 in (1), we get
x + 2(20) + 3(25) = 125
∴ x = 125 – 40 – 75 = 10
∴ x = 10, y = 20, z = 25
Hence, the cost of 1 pencil is ₹ 10, 1 pen is ₹ 20 and 1 book is ₹ 25.

Question 5.
The sum of three numbers is 6. Thrice the third number when added to the first number, gives 7. On adding three times first number to the sum of second and third number, we get 12. Find the three numbers by using Matrices.
Solution:
Let the numbers be x, y and z.
According to the given conditions,
x + y + z = 6
3z + x = 7, i.e., x + 3z = 7
and 3x + y + z = 12
Hence, the system of linear equations is
x + y + z = 6
x + 3z = 7
3x + y + z = 12
These equations can be written in matrix form as :

By equality of matrices,
x + y + z = 6 …(1)
-y + 2z = 1 …(2)
-3y = -5 …(3)
From (3), y = \(\frac{5}{3}\)
Substituting y = \(\frac{5}{3}\) in (2), we get,
–\(\frac{5}{3}\) + 2z = 1
∴ 2z = 1 + \(\frac{5}{3}\) = \(\frac{8}{3}\)
∴ z = \(\frac{4}{3}\)
Substituting y =\(\frac{5}{3}\), z = \(\frac{5}{3}\) in (1), we get,
x + \(\frac{5}{3}+\frac{4}{3}\) = 6
∴ x = 3
∴ x = 3, y = \(\frac{5}{3}\), z = \(\frac{4}{3}\)
Hence, the required numbers are 3, \(\frac{5}{3}\) and \(\frac{4}{3}\).

Question 6.
The sum of three numbers is 2. If twice the second number is added to the sum of first and third number, we get 1 adding five times the first number to the sum of second and third we get 6. Find the three numbers by using matrices.
Solution:
Let the three numbers be x, y and z.
According to the question,
x + y + 2
x + 2y + z = 1
5x + y + z = 6
The given system of equations can be written in matrix form as follows:

Question 7.
An amount of ₹ 5000 is invested in three types of investments, at interest rates 6%, 7%, 8% per annum respectively. The total annual income from these investimest is ₹ 350. If the total annual income from first two investment is ₹ 70 more than the income from the third, find the amount of each investment using matrix method.
Solution:
Let the amounts in three investments by ₹ x, ₹ y and ₹ z respectively.
Then x + y + z = 5000
Since the rate of interest in these investments are 6%, 7% and 8% respectively, the annual income of the three investments are \(\frac{6 x}{100}\), \(\frac{7 y}{100}\) and \(\frac{8 z}{100}\) respectively.
According to the given conditions,
\(\frac{6 x}{100}+\frac{7 y}{100}+\frac{8 z}{100}\) = 350
i.e. 6x + 7y + 8z = 35000
Also, \(\frac{6 x}{100}+\frac{7 y}{100}\) = \(\frac{8 z}{100}\) + 70
i.e. 6x + 7y – 8z = 7000
Hence, the system of linear equation is
x + y + z = 5000
6x + 7y + 8z = 35000
6x + 7y – 8z = 7000
These equations can be written in matrix form as :


By equality of matrices,
x + y + z = 5000 …(1)
y + 2z = 5000 …(2)
-16z = -28000 ….(3)
From (3), z = 1750
Substituting z = 1750 in (2), we get,
y + 2(1750) = 5000
∴ y = 5000 – 3500 = 1500
Substituting y = 1500, z = 1750 in (1), we get,
x + 1500 + 1750 = 5000
∴ x = 5000 – 3250 = 1750
∴ x = 1750, y = 1500, z = 1750
Hence, the amounts of the three investments are ₹ 1750, ₹ 1500 and ₹ 1750 respectively.

Question 8.

This represents a line parallel to Y-axis passing through the point (\(\frac{3}{2}\), 0)
Draw the line x =\(\frac{3}{2}\).
To find the solution set, we have to check the position of the origin (0, 0).
When x = 0, 2x – 3 = 2 × 0 – 3 = -3 ≱ 0
∴ the coordinates of the origin does not satisfy the given inequality.
∴ the solution set consists of the line x = \(\frac{3}{2}\) and the non-origin side of the line which is shaded in the graph.

(ii) 2y – 5 ≥ 0

To find the solution set, we have to check the position of the origin (0, 0).
When y = 0, 2y – 5 = 2 × 0 – 5 = -5 ≱ 0

(iii) Consider the line whose equation is 3x + 4 = 0,
i.e. x = \(-\frac{4}{3}\)
This represents a line parallel to Y-axis passing through the point (\(-\frac{4}{3}\), 0).
Draw the line x = \(-\frac{4}{3}\).
To find the solution set, we have to check the position of the origin (0, 0).

i.e. y = \(\frac{-3}{5}\)
This represents a line parallel to X-axis passing through the point (0, \(\frac{-3}{5}\))
Draw the line y = \(\frac{-3}{5}\).
To find the solution set, we have to check the position of the origin (0, 0).
When y = 0, 5y + 3 = 5 × 0 + 3 = 3 ≰ 0
∴ the coordinates of the origin does not satisfy the given inequality.
∴ the solution set consists of the line y = \(\frac{-3}{5}\) and the non-origin side of the line which is shaded in the graph.

Question 4.
Solve graphically :
(i) x + 2y ≤ 6
Solution:
Consider the line whose equation is x + 2y = 6.
To find the points of intersection of this line with the coordinate axes.
Put y = 0, we get x = 6.
∴ A = (6, 0) is a point on the line.
Put x = 0, we get 2y = 6, i.e. y = 3
∴ B = (0, 3) is another point on the line.

Draw the line AB joining these points. This line divide the line into two parts.
1. Origin side 2. Non-origin side
To find the solution set, we have to check the position of the origin (0, 0) with respect to the line.
When x = 0, y = 0, then x + 2y = 0 which is less than 6.
∴ x + 2y ≤ 6 in this case.
Hence, origin lies in the required region. Therefore, the given inequality is the origin side which is
shaded in the graph.
This is the solution set of x + 2y ≤ 6.

(ii) 2x – 5y ≥ 10
Solution:
Consider the line whose equation is 2x – 5y = 10.
To find the points of intersection of this line with the coordinate axes.
Put y = 0, we get 2x = 10, i.e. x = 5.
∴ A = (5, 0) is a point on the line.
Put x = 0, we get -5y = 10, i.e. y = -2
∴ B = (0, -2) is another point on the line.

Draw the line AB joining these points. This line J divide the plane in two parts.
1. Origin side 2. Non-origin side
To find the solution set, we have to check the position of the origin (0, 0) with respect to the line. When x = 0, y = 0, then 2x – 5y = 0 which is neither greater nor equal to 10.
∴ 2x – 5y ≱ 10 in this case.
Hence (0, 0) will not lie in the required region.
Therefore, the given inequality is the non-origin side, which is shaded in the graph.
This is the solution set of 2x – 5y ≥ 10.

(iii) 3x + 2y ≥ 0
Solution:
Consider the line whose equation is 3x + 2y = 0.
The constant term is zero, therefore this line is passing through the origin.
∴ one point on the line is O ≡ (0, 0).
To find the another point, we can give any value of x and get the corresponding value of y.
Put x = 2, we get 6 + 2y = 0 i.e. y = – 3
∴ A = (2, -3) is another point on the line.
Draw the line OA.
To find the solution set, we cannot check (0, 0) as it is already on the line.
We can check any other point which is not on the line.
Let us check the point (1, 1)

When x = 1, y = 1, then 3x + 2y = 3 + 2 = 5 which is greater than zero.
∴ 3x + 2y > 0 in this case.
Hence (1, 1) lies in the required region. Therefore, the required region is the upper side which is shaded in the graph.
This is the solution set of 3x + 2y ≥ 0.

(iv) 5x – 3y ≤ 0
Solution:
Consider the line whose equation is 5x – 3y = 0. The constant term is zero, therefore this line is passing through the origin.
∴ one point on the line is the origin O = (0, 0).
To find the other point, we can give any value of x and get the corresponding value of y.
Put x = 3, we get 15 – 3y = 0, i.e. y = 5
∴ A ≡ (3, 5) is another point on the line.
Draw the line OA.
To find the solution set, we cannot check 0(0, 0), as it is already on the line. We can check any other point which is not on the line.
Let us check the point (1, -1).
When x = 1, y = -1 then 5x – 3y = 5 + 3 = 8
which is neither less nor equal to zero.
∴ 5x – 3y ≰ 0 in this case.
Hence (1, -1) will not lie in the required region. Therefore, the required region is the upper side which is shaded in the graph.

This is the solution set of 5x – 3y ≤ 0.

Given pane is \(\text { r. }(6 \hat{\mathrm{i}}+8 \hat{\mathrm{j}}+24 \hat{\mathrm{k}})=13\) …(1)

This is the normal form of the equation of plane.
Comparing with \(\bar{r} \cdot \hat{n}\) = p,

Solution:
The Cartesian equation of the plane passing through (x₁, y₁, z₁), the direction ratios of whose normal are a, b, c, is
a(x – x₁) + b(y – y₁) + c(z – z₁) = 0
∴ the cartesian equation of the required plane is
o(x + 1) + 2(y + 2) + 5(z – 3) = 0
i.e. 0 + 2y – 4 + 10z – 15 = 0
i.e. y + 2 = 0.

Question 7.
Find the Cartesian equation of the plane passing through A(7, 8, 6) and parallel to the plane \(\bar{r} \cdot(6 \hat{i}+8 \hat{j}+7 \hat{k})=0\)

The cartesian equation of the plane \(\bar{r} \cdot(6 \hat{i}+8 \hat{j}+7 \hat{k})=0\) is 6x + 8y + 7z = 0 The required plane is parallel to it
∴ its cartesian equation is
6x + 8y + 7z = p …(1)
A (7, 8, 6) lies on it and hence satisfies its equation
∴ (6)(7) + (8)(8) + (7)(6) = p
i.e., p = 42 + 64 + 42 = 148.
∴ from (1), the cartesian equation of the required plane is 6x + 8y + 7z = 148.

Question 8.

The vector equation of the plane passing through A(\(\bar{a}\)) and perpendicular to \(\bar{n}\) is \(\bar{r} \cdot \bar{n}=\bar{a} \cdot \bar{n}\).
M(1, 2, 0) is the foot of the perpendicular drawn from origin to the plane. Then the plane is passing through M and is
perpendicular to OM.
If \(\bar{m}\) is the position vector of M, then \(\bar{m}\) = \(\hat{\mathrm{i}}\).
Normal to the plane is
\(\bar{n}\) = \(\overline{\mathrm{OM}}\) = \(\hat{\mathrm{i}}\)
\(\overline{\mathrm{m}} \cdot \overline{\mathrm{n}}\) = \(\hat{\mathrm{i}}, \hat{i}\) = 5
∴ the vector equation of the required plane is
\(\bar{r} \cdot(\hat{i}+2 \hat{j})\) = 5

Question 9.

\(\overline{\mathrm{r}} \cdot(\overline{\mathrm{AB}} \times \overline{\mathrm{AC}})=\overline{\mathrm{a}} \cdot(\overline{\mathrm{AB}} \times \overline{\mathrm{AC}})\) …(1)
The required plane makes intercepts 1, 1, 1 on the coordinate axes.
∴ it passes through the three non collinear points A = (1, 0, 0), B = (0, 1, 0), C = (0, , 1)

Question 10.
Find the vector equation of the plane passing through the pointA(-2, 3, 5) and parallel to vectors \(4 \hat{i}+3 \hat{k}\) and \(\hat{i}+\hat{j}\)

= (-2)(-4) + (7)(-1) + (5)(4)
= 8 – 7 + 8

Here,

Question 12.
Find the vector equations of planes which pass through A(1, 2, 3), B (3, 2, 1) and make equal intercepts on the co-ordinates axes.
Question is modified
Find the cartesian equations of the planes which pass through A(1, 2, 3), B(3, 2, 1) and make equal intercepts on the coordinate axes.
Solution:
Case 1 : Let all the intercepts be 0.
Then the plane passes through the origin.
Then the cartesian equation of the plane is
ax + by + cz = 0 …..(1)
(1, 2, 3) and (3, 2, 1) lie on the plane.
∴ a + 2b + 3c = 0 and 3a + 2b + c = 0

∴ a, b, c are proportional to 1, -2, 1
∴ from (1), the required cartesian equation is x – 2y + z = 0.
Case 2 : Let the plane make non zero intercept p on each axis.
then its equation is \(\frac{x}{p}+\frac{y}{p}+\frac{z}{p}\) = 1
i.e. x + y + z = p …(2)
Since this plane pass through (1, 2, 3) and (3, 2, 1)
∴ 1 + 2 + 3 = p and 3 + 2 + 1 = p
∴ p = 6
∴ from (2), the required cartesian equation is
x + y + z = 6
Hence, the cartesian equations of required planes are x + y + z = 6 and x – 2y + z = 0.

Question 13.
Find the vector equation of the plane which makes equal non-zero intercepts on the co-ordinates axes and passes through (1, 1, 1).
Solution:
Case 1 : Let all the intercepts be 0.
Then the plane passes through the origin.
Then the vector equation of the plane is ax + by + cz …(1)
(1, 1, 1) lie on the plane.
∴ 1a + 1b + 1c = 0

∴ from (1), the required cartesian equation is x – y + z = 0
Case 2 : Let he plane make non zero intercept p on each axis.
then its equation is \(\frac{\hat{\mathrm{i}}}{p}+\frac{\hat{\mathrm{j}}}{p}+\frac{\hat{\mathrm{k}}}{p}=1\) = 1
i.e. \(\hat{i}+\hat{j}+\hat{k}=p\) = p ….(2)
Since this plane pass through (1, 1, 1)
∴ 1 + 1 + 1 = p
∴ p = 3
∴ from (2), the required cartesian equation is \(\hat{i}+\hat{j}+\hat{k}\) = 3
Hence, the cartesian equations of required planes are \(\bar{r} \cdot(\hat{i}+\hat{j}+\hat{k})=3\)

Question 14.

= (2)(2) + (3)(-1) + (-6)(1)
= 4 – 3 – 6
= -5

Question 16.
Show that lines \(\bar{r}=(\hat{i}+4 \hat{j})+\lambda(\hat{i}+2 \hat{j}+3 \hat{k})\) and \(\bar{r}=(3 \hat{j}-\hat{k})+\mu(2 \hat{i}+3 \hat{j}+4 \hat{k})\)

Solution:
The distance of the point A(\(\bar{a}\)) from the plane \(\bar{r} \cdot \bar{n}\) = p is given by d = \(\frac{|\bar{a} \cdot \bar{n}-p|}{|\bar{n}|}\) ……(1)

= (3)(2) + (3)(3) + (1)(-6)
= 6 + 9 – 6
= 9

Question 18.
Find the distance of the point (13, 13, -13) from the plane 3x + 4y – 12z = 0.
Solution:

= 19units.

Find the vector equation of the plane passing through the origln and containing the line \(\bar{r}=(\hat{i}+4 \hat{j}+\hat{k})+\lambda(\hat{i}+2 \hat{j}+\hat{k})\).
Solution:
The vector equation of the plane passing through A(\(\bar{a}\)) and perpendicular to the vector \(\bar{n}\) is \(\bar{r} \cdot \bar{n}=\bar{a} \cdot \bar{n}\) … (1)
We can take \(\bar{a}\) = \(\bar{0}\) since the plane passes through the origin.
The point M with position vector \(\bar{m}\) =\(\hat{i}+4 \hat{j}+\hat{k}\) lies on the line and hence it lies on the plane.
.’. \(\overline{\mathrm{OM}}=\bar{m}=\hat{i}+4 \hat{j}+\hat{k}\) lies on the plane.
The plane contains the given line which is parallel to \(\bar{b}=\hat{i}+2 \hat{j}+\hat{k}\)
Let \(\bar{n}\) be normal to the plane. Then \(\bar{n}\) is perpendicular to \(\overline{\mathrm{OM}}\) as well as \(\bar{b}\)

Question 20.
Find the vector equation of the plane which bisects the segment joining A(2, 3, 6) and B( 4, 3, -2) at right angle.
Solution:
The vector equation of the plane passing through A(\(\bar{a}\)) and perpendicular to the vector \(\bar{n}\) is \(\bar{r} \cdot \bar{n}=\bar{a} \cdot \bar{n}\) ….(1)
The position vectors \(\bar{a}\) and \(\bar{b}\) of the given points A and B are \(\bar{a}=2 \hat{i}+3 \hat{j}+6 \hat{k}\) and \(\bar{b}=4 \hat{i}+3 \hat{j}-2 \hat{k}\)
If M is the midpoint of segment AB, the position vector \(\bar{m}\) of M is given by

Question 21.
Show thatlines x = y, z = 0 and x + y = 0, z = 0 intersect each other. Find the vector equation of the plane determined by them.
Solution:
Given lines are x = y, z = 0 and x + y = 0, z = 0.
It is clear that (0, 0, 0) satisfies both the equations.
∴ the lines intersect at O whose position vector is \(\overline{0}\)
Since z = 0 for both the lines, both the lines lie in XY- plane.
Hence, we have to find equation of XY-plane.
Z-axis is perpendicular to XY-plane.
∴ normal to XY plane is \(\hat{k}\).
0(\(\overline{0}\)) lies on the plane.
By using \(\bar{r} \cdot \bar{n}=\bar{a} \cdot \bar{n}\), the vector equation of the required plane is \(\bar{r} \cdot \hat{k}=\overline{0} \cdot \bar{k}\)
i.e. \(\bar{r} \cdot \hat{k}=0\).
Hence, the given lines intersect each other and the vector equation of the plane determine by them is \(\bar{r} \cdot \hat{k}=0\).

This line is passing through the point A(-5, -4, -5) and having direction ratios 3, 5, 6.
Let \(\bar{a}\) be the position vector of the point A w.r.t. the origin and \(\bar{b}\) be the vector parallel to the line.
Then \(\bar{a}=-5 \hat{i}-4 \hat{j}-5 \hat{k}\) and \(\bar{b}=3 \hat{i}+5 \hat{j}+6 \hat{k}\).
The vector equation of the line passing through A(\(\bar{a}\)) and parallel to \(\bar{b}\) is \(\bar{r}=\bar{a}+\lambda \bar{b}\) where λ is a scalar.

x = 3 + (0)λ, y = -2 + 0(λ), z = -5 + 11λ

x = 3 + 2λ, y = 2 – λ, z = 1 + 0(λ)
x – 3 = 2λ, y – 2 = -λ, z = 1
∴ \(\frac{x-3}{2}=\frac{y-2}{-1}\) = λ, z = 1

It is perpendicular to the vectors \(\bar{b}=\hat{i}+2 \hat{j}+\hat{k}\) and \(\bar{c}=3 \hat{i}+2 \hat{j}-\hat{k}\).
∴ it is perpendicular to lines whose direction ratios are 1, 2, 1 and 3, 2, -1.
∴ p + 2q + r = 0, 3p + 2q – r = 0

∴ the required line has direction ratios -1, 1, -1.
The cartesian equations of the line passing through (x₁, y₁, z₁) and having direction ratios a, b, c are
\(\frac{x-x_{1}}{a}=\frac{y-y_{1}}{b}=\frac{z-z_{1}}{c}\)

The given line is \(\frac{x-1}{1}=\frac{y-2}{1}=\frac{z-3}{1}\) = λ … (Say)
∴ coordinates of any point on the line are
x = λ + 1, y = λ + 2, z = λ + 3

∴ the direction ratios of the line are 1, 1, 0.
The direction ratios of the line x = 0, z = 0, i.e., Y-axis J are 0, 1, 0.
∴ its directiton ratios are 0, 1, 0.
Let \(\bar{a}\) and \(\bar{b}\) be the vectors in the direction of the lines x = y, z = 0 and x = 0, z = 0.

If θ is the acute angle between the lines, then

Let P = (0, 2, 3)
Let M be the foot of the perpendicular drawn from P to the line \(\frac{x+3}{5}=\frac{y-1}{2}=\frac{z+4}{3}\) = λ ……(Say)
The coordinates of any point on the line are given by
x = 5λ – 3, y = 2λ + 1, z = 3λ – 4
Let M = (5λ – 3, 2λ + 1, 3λ – 4) …(1)
The direction ratios of PM are
5λ – 3 – 0, 2λ + 1 – 2, 3λ – 4 – 3 i.e. 5λ – 3, 2λ – 1, 3λ – 7
Since, PM is perpendicular to the line whose direcction ratios are 5, 2, 3,
5(5λ – 3) + 2(2λ – 1) + 3(3λ – 7) = 0
25λ – 15 + 4λ – 2 + 9λ – 21 =0
38λ – 38 = 0 ∴ λ = 1
Substituting λ = 1 in (1), we get.
M = (5 – 3, 2 + 1, 3 – 4) = (2, 3, -1).
Hence, the coordinates of the foot of perpendicular are (2, 3, – 1).

Shortest distance between the lines is 0.
∴ the lines intersect each other.

(ii) \(\frac{x-5}{4}=\frac{y-7}{5}=\frac{z+3}{5}\) and x – 6 = y – 8 = z + 2.
Solution:
The shortest distance between the lines

∴ x₁ = 5, y₁ = 7, z₁ = 3, x₂ = 6, y₂ = 8, z₂ = 2,
l₁ = 4, m₁ = 5, n₁ = 1, l₂ = 1, m₂ = -2, n₂ = 1

= 4(-6 + 2) – 6(7 – 1) + 8(-14 + 6)
= -16 – 36 – 64
= -116
and
(m₁n₂ – m₂n₁)² + (l₂n₁ – l₁n₂)² + (l₁m₂ – l₂m₁)²
= (-6 + 2)² + (1 – 7)² + (1 – 7)² + (-14 + 6)²
= 16 + 36 + 64
= 116
Hence, the required shortest distance between the given lines

or
Shortest distance between the lines is 0.
∴ the lines intersect each other.

Solution:

Here, (x₁, y₁, z₁) ≡ (1, -1, 1),
(x₂, y₂, z₂) ≡ (2, -m, 2),
a₁ = 2, b₁ = 3, c₁ = 4,
a₂ = 1, b₂ = 2, c₂ = 1
Substituting these values in (1), we get

∴ 1(3 – 8) – (1 – m)(2 – 4) + 1 (4 – 3) = 0
∴ -5 + 2 – 2m + 1 = 0
∴ -2m = 2
∴ m = -1.

Find the Cartesian equation of the line passing through the origin which is perpendicular to x – 1 = y – 2 = z – 1 and intersects the \(\frac{x-1}{2}=\frac{y+1}{3}=\frac{z-1}{4}\).
Solution:
Let the required line have direction ratios a, b, c
Since the line passes through the origin, its cartesian equations are
\(\frac{x}{a}=\frac{y}{b}=\frac{z}{c}\) …(1)
This line is perpendicular to the line
x – 1 = y – 2 = z – 1 whose direction ratios are 1, 1, 1.

∴ 1(4b – 3c) + 1(4a – 2c) + 1(3a – 2b) = 0
∴ 4b – 3c + 4a – 2c + 3a – 2b = 0
∴ 7a + 2b – 5c = 0
From (2) and (3), we get

Question 21.
Write the vector equation of the line whose Cartesian equations are y = 2 and 4x – 3z + 5 = 0.
Solution:
4x – 3z + 5 = 0 can be written as

This line passes through the point A(0, 2, \(\frac{5}{3}\)) position vector is \(\bar{a}=2 \hat{j}+\frac{5}{3} \hat{k}\)
Also the line has direction ratio 3, 0, 4.
If \(\bar{b}\) is a vector parallel to the line, then \(\bar{b}=3 \hat{i}+4 \hat{k}\)
The vector equation of the line passing through A(\(\bar{a}\)) and parallel to \(\bar{b}\) is \(\bar{r}=\bar{a}+\lambda \bar{b}\) where λ is \(\bar{a}\) scalar,
∴ the vector equation of the required line is
\(\bar{r}=\left(2 \hat{j}+\frac{5}{3} \hat{k}\right)+\lambda(3 \hat{i}+4 \hat{k})\).

Question 22.
Find the co-ordinates of points on the line \(\frac{x-1}{1}=\frac{y-2}{-2}=\frac{z-3}{2}\) which are at the distance 3 unit from the base point A(1, 2, 3).
Solution:
The cartesian equations of the line are \(\frac{x-1}{1}=\frac{y-2}{-2}=\frac{z-3}{2}\) = λ
The coordinates of any point on this line are given by
x = λ + 1, y = -2λ + 2, z = 2λ + 3
Let M(λ + 1, -2λ + 2, 2λ + 3) … (1)
be the point on the line whose distance from A(1, 2, 3) is 3 units.

When λ = 1, M = (1 + 1, -2 + 2, 2 + 3) … [By (1)]
i. e. M = (2, 0, 5)
When λ = -1, M = (1 – 1, 2 + 2, -2 + 3) … [By (1)]
i. e. M = (0, 4, 1)
Hence, the coordinates of the required points are (2, 0, 5) and (0, 4, 1).

Solution:

= 2(-1) + 6(2) + 3(-1)
= -2 + 12 – 3 = 7

Question 1.
Find the vector equation of a plane which is at 42 unit distance from the origin and which is normal to the vector \(2 \hat{i}+\hat{j}-2 \hat{k}\).
Solution:
If \(\hat{n}\) is a unit vector along the normal and p is the length of the perpendicular from origin to the plane, then the vector equation of the plane is \(\bar{r} \cdot \hat{n}\) = p

Question 2.
Find the perpendicular distance of the origin from the plane 6x – 2y + 3z – 7 = 0.
Solution:
The equation of the plane is
6x – 2y + 3z – 7 = 0
∴ its vector equation is
\(\bar{r} \cdot(6 \hat{i}-2 \hat{j}+3 \hat{k})\) = 7 ….(1)
where \(\bar{r}=x \hat{i}+y \hat{j}+z \hat{k}\)
∴ \(\bar{n}=6 \hat{i}-2 \hat{j}+3 \hat{k}\) is normal to the plane
\(|\bar{n}|=\sqrt{6^{2}+(-2)^{2}+3^{2}}=\sqrt{49}\) = 7
Unit vector along \(\bar{n}\) is

Comparing with normal form of equation of the plane \(\bar{r} \cdot \hat{n}\) = p, it follows that length of perpendicular from origin is 1 unit.
Alternative Method:
The equation of the plane is 6x – 2y + 3z – 7 = 0 i.e. 6x – 2y + 3z = 7

This is the normal form of the equation of plane.
∴ perpendicular distance of the origin from the plane is p = 1 unit.

Question 3.
Find the coordinates of the foot of the perpendicular drawn from the origin to the plane 2x + 6y – 3z = 63 .
Solution:
The equation of the plane is 2x + 6y – 3z = 63. Dividing each term by \(\sqrt{2^{2}+6^{2}+(-3)^{2}}=\sqrt{49}\) = 7, we get
\(\frac{2}{7} x+\frac{6}{7} y-\frac{3}{7} z=\frac{63}{7}\) = 9
This is the normal form of the equation of plane.
∴ the direction cosines of the perpendicular drawn from the origin to the plane are
l = \(\frac{2}{7}\), m = \(\frac{6}{7}\), n = \(-\frac{3}{7}\)
and length of perpendicular from origin to the plane is p = 9.
∴ the coordinates of the foot of the perpendicular from the origin to the plane are (lp, mp, np) i.e. \(\left(\frac{18}{7}, \frac{54}{7},-\frac{27}{7}\right)\).

Question 4.
Reduce the equation \(\bar{r} \cdot(3 \hat{i}+4 \hat{j}+12 \hat{k})\) = 78 to normal form and hence find
(i) the length of the perpendicular from the origin to the plane
(ii) direction cosines of the normal.
Solution:
The normal form of equation of a plane is \(\bar{r} \cdot \hat{n}\) = p where \(\hat{n}\) is unit vector along the normal and p is the length of perpendicular drawn from origin to the plane.

This is the normal form of the equation of plane. Comparing with \(\bar{r} \cdot \hat{n}\) = p,
(i) the length of the perpendicular from the origin to plane is 6.
(ii) direction cosines of the normal are \(\frac{3}{13}, \frac{4}{13}, \frac{12}{13}\).

Question 5.
Find the vector equation of the plane passing through the point having position vector \(\hat{i}+\hat{j}+\hat{k}\) and perpendicular to the vector \(4 \hat{i}+5 \hat{j}+6 \hat{k}\).
Solution:
The vector equation of the plane passing through the point A (\(\bar{a}\)) and perpendicular to the vector \(\bar{n}\) is \(\bar{r} \cdot \bar{n}=\bar{a} \cdot \bar{n}\)
Here, \(\bar{a}=\hat{i}+\hat{j}+\hat{k}\), \(\bar{n}=4 \hat{i}+5 \hat{j}+6 \hat{k}\)
∴ \(\bar{a} \cdot \bar{n}\) = \((\hat{i}+\hat{j}+\hat{k}) \cdot(4 \hat{i}+5 \hat{j}+6 \hat{k})\)
= (1)(4) + (1)(5) + (1)(6)
= 4 + 5 + 6 = 15
∴ the vector equation of the required plane is \(\bar{r} \cdot(4 \hat{i}+5 \hat{j}+6 \hat{k})\) = 15.

Question 6.

Solution:
The cartesian equation of the plane passing ; through (x₁, y₁, z₁), the direction ratios of whose normal are a, b, c, is
a(x – x₁) + b(y – y₁) + c(z – z₁) = 0
∴ the cartesian equation of the required plane is
0(x +1) + 2(y – 2) + 5(z – 3) = 0
i.e. 0 + 2y – 4 + 5z – 15 = 0
i.e. 2y + 5z = 19.

Question 7.
Find the Cartesian equation of the plane passing through A(7, 8, 6) and parallel to the XY plane.
Solution:
The cartesian equation of the plane passing through (x₁, y₁, z₁), the direction ratios of whose normal are a, b, c, is
a(x – x₁) + b(y – y₁) + c(z – z₁) = 0
The required plane is parallel to XY-plane.
∴ it is perpendicular to Z-axis i.e. Z-axis is normal to the plane. Z-axis has direction ratios 0, 0, 1.
The plane passes through (7, 8, 6).
∴ the cartesian equation of the required plane is
0(x – 7) + 0(y – 8) + 1 (z – 6) = 0
i.e. z = 6.

Question 8.
The foot of the perpendicular drawn from the origin to a plane is M(1, 0, 0). Find the vector equation of the plane.
Solution:
The vector equation of the plane passing ; through A(\(\bar{a}\)) and perpendicular to \(\bar{n}\) is \(\bar{r} \cdot \bar{n}=\bar{a} \cdot \bar{n}\).
M(1, 0, 0) is the foot of the perpendicular drawn from ; origin to the plane. Then the plane is passing through M : and is perpendicular to OM.
If \(\bar{m}\) is the position vector of M, then \(\bar{m}\) = \(\hat{i}\)
Normal to the plane is
\(\bar{n}\) = \(\overline{\mathrm{OM}}\) = \(\hat{i}\)
\(\bar{m} \cdot \bar{n}=\hat{i} \cdot \hat{i}\) = 1
∴ the vector equation of the required plane is \(\bar{r} \cdot \hat{i}\) = 1

Question 9.

Question 1.
Find the length of the perpendicular from (2, -3, 1) to the line \(\frac{x+1}{2}=\frac{y-3}{3}=\frac{z+1}{-1}\)
Solution:
Let PM be the perpendicular drawn from the point P (2, -3, 1) to the line \(\frac{x+1}{2}=\frac{y-3}{3}=\frac{z+1}{-1}\) = λ …(Say)
The coordinates of any point on the line are given by x = -1 + 2λ, y = 3 + 3λ, z = -1 – λ
Let the coordinates of M be
(-1 + 2λ, 3 + 3λ, -1 – λ) … (1)
The direction ratios of PM are
-1 + 2λ – 2, 3 + 3λ + 3, -1 – λ – 1
i.e. 2λ – 3, 3λ + 6, -λ – 2
The direction ratios of the given line are 2, 3, -1.
Since PM is perpendicular to the given line, we get
2(2λ – 3) + 3(3λ + 6) – 1(-λ – 2) = 0
∴ 4λ – 6 + 9λ + 18 + λ + 2 = 0
∴ 14λ + 14 = 0 ∴ λ = -1.
Put λ = -1 in (1), the coordinats of M are
(-1 – 2, 3 – 3, -1 + 1) i.e. (-3, 0,0).
∴ length of perpendicular from P to the given line

Alternative Method:
We know that the perpendicular distance from the point P\(|\bar{\alpha}|\) to the line \(\bar{r}=\bar{a}+\lambda \vec{b}\) is given by

Substituting these values in (1), we get
length of perpendicular from P to given line

Question 2.
Find the co-ordinates of the foot of the perpendicular drawn from the point \(2 \hat{i}-\hat{j}+5 \hat{k}\) to the line \(\bar{r}=(11 \hat{i}-2 \hat{j}-8 \hat{k})+\lambda(10 \hat{i}-4 \hat{j}-11 \hat{k})\). Also find the length of the perpendicular.
Solution:
Let M be the foot of perpendicular drawn from the point P (\(2 \hat{i}-\hat{j}+5 \hat{k}\)) on the line
\(\bar{r}=(11 \hat{i}-2 \hat{j}-8 \hat{k})+\lambda(10 \hat{i}-4 \hat{j}-11 \hat{k})\).
Let the position vector of the point M be

Then \(\overline{\mathrm{PM}}\) = Position vector of M – Position vector of P
= [(11 + 10λ)\(\hat{i}\) + (-2 – 4λ)\(\hat{j}\) + -8 – 11λ) \(\hat{k}\)] – (2\(\hat{i}\) – \(\hat{j}\) + 5\(\hat{k}\))
= (9 + 10λ)\(\hat{i}\) + (-1 – 4λ)\(\hat{j}\) + (-13 – 11λ)\(\hat{k}\)
Since PM is perpendicular to the given line which is parallel to \(\bar{b}=10 \hat{i}-4 \hat{j}-11 \hat{k}\),
\(\overline{\mathrm{PM}}\) ⊥^r\(\bar{b}\) ∴ \(\overline{\mathrm{PM}} \cdot \bar{b}\) = 0
∴ [(9 + 10λ)\(\hat{i}\) + ( – 1 – 4λ)\(\hat{j}\) + (-13 – 11λ)\(\hat{k}\)]-(10\(\hat{i}\) – 4\(\hat{j}\) – 11\(\hat{k}\)) = 0
∴ 10(9 +10λ) – 4( -1 – 4λ) – 11( -13 – 11λ) = 0
∴ 90 + 100λ + 4 + 16λ + 143 +121λ = 0
∴ 237λ + 237 = 0
∴ λ = -1
Putting this value of λ, we get the position vector of M as \(\hat{i}+2 \hat{j}+3 \hat{k}\).
∴ coordinates of the foot of perpendicular M are (1, 2, 3).

Hence, the coordinates of the foot of perpendicular are (1,2, 3) and length of perpendicular = \(\sqrt {14}\) units.

Question 3.
Find the shortest distance between the lines \(\bar{r}=(4 \hat{i}-\hat{j})+\lambda(\hat{i}+2 \hat{j}-3 \hat{k})\) and \(\bar{r}=(\hat{i}-\hat{j}+2 \hat{k})+\mu(\hat{i}+4 \hat{j}-5 \hat{k})\)
Solution:
We know that the shortest distance between the skew lines \(\bar{r}=\overline{a_{1}}+\lambda \overline{b_{1}}\) and \(\bar{r}=\overline{a_{2}}+\mu \overline{b_{2}}\) is given by

Question 4.
Find the shortest distance between the lines \(\frac{x+1}{7}=\frac{y+1}{-6}=\frac{z+1}{1}\) and \(\frac{x-3}{1}=\frac{y-5}{-2}=\frac{z-7}{1}\)
Solution:
The shortest distance between the lines

= 4(-6 + 2) – 6(7 – 1) + 8(-14 + 6)
= -16 – 36 – 64 = -116
and (m₁n₂ – m₂n₁)² + (l₂n₁ – l₁n₂)² + (l₁m₂ – l₂m₁)²
= (-6 + 2)² + (1 – 7)² + (-14 + 6)²
= 16 + 36 + 64 = 116
Hence, the required shortest distance between the given lines = \(\left|\frac{-116}{\sqrt{116}}\right|\) = \(\sqrt{116}\) = \(2 \sqrt{29}\) units

Question 5.
Find the perpendicular distance of the point (1, 0, 0) from the line \(\frac{x-1}{2}=\frac{y+1}{-3}=\frac{z+10}{8}\) Also find the co-ordinates of the foot of the perpendicular.
Solution:
Let PM be the perpendicular drawn from the point (1, 0, 0) to the line \(\frac{x-1}{2}=\frac{y+1}{-3}=\frac{z+10}{8}\) = λ …(Say)
The coordinates of any point on the line are given by x = -1 + 2λ, y = 3 + 2λ, z = 8 – λ
Let the coordinates of M be
(-1 + 2λ, 3 + 3λ, -1 – λ) …..(1)
The direction ratios of PM are
-1 + 2λ – 2, 3 + 3λ + 3, -1 – λ – 1
i.e. 2λ – 3, 3λ = 6, -λ – 2
The direction ratios of the given line are 2, 3, 8.
Since PM is perpendicular to the given line, we get
2(2λ – 3) + 3(3λ + 6) – 1(-λ – 2) = O
∴ 4λ – 6 + 9λ + 18 + λ + 2 = 0
∴ 14λ + 14 = 0
∴ λ = -1
Put λ in (1), the coordinates of M are
(-1 – 2, 3 – 3, -1 + 1) i.e. (-3, 0, 0).
∴ length of perpendicular from P to the given line
= PM
= \(\sqrt{(-3-2)^{2}+(0+3)^{2}+(0-1)^{2}}\)
= \(\sqrt{(25 + 9 + 1)}\)
= \(\sqrt{35}\)units.
Alternative Method :
We know that the perpendicular distance from the point

Substitutng tese values in (1), w get
length of perpendicular from P to given line
= PM

Question 6.
A(1, 0, 4), B(0, -11, 13), C(2, -3, 1) are three points and D is the foot of the perpendicular from A to BC. Find the co-ordinates of D.
Solution:
Equation of the line passing through the points (x₁, y₁, z₁) and (x₂, y₂, z₂) is

AD is the perpendicular from the point A (1, 0, 4) to the line BC.
The coordinates of any point on the line BC are given by x = 2λ, y = -11 + 8λ, z = 13 – 12λ
Let the coordinates of D be (2λ, -11 + 8λ, 13 – 12λ) … (1)
∴ the direction ratios of AD are
2λ – 1, -1λ + 8λ – 0, 13 – 12λ – 4 i.e.
2λ – 1, -11 + 8λ, 9 – 12λ
The direction ratios of the line BC are 2, 8, -12.
Since AD is perpendicular to BC, we get
2(2λ – 1) + 8(-11 + 8λ) – 12(9 – 12λ) = 0
∴ 42λ – 2 – 88 + 64λ – 108 + 144λ = 0
∴ 212λ – 198 = 0

Question 7.
By computing the shortest distance, determine whether following lines intersect each other.
(i) \(\bar{r}=(\hat{i}-\hat{j})+\lambda(2 \hat{i}+\hat{k})\) and \(\bar{r}=(2 \hat{i}-\hat{j})+\mu(\hat{i}+\hat{j}-\hat{k})\)
Solution:
The shortest distance between the lines


Hence, the given lines do not intersect.

(ii) \(\frac{x-5}{4}=\frac{y-7}{-5}=\frac{z+3}{-5}\) and \(\frac{x-8}{7}=\frac{y-7}{1}=\frac{z-5}{3}\)
Solution:
The shortest distance between the lines

∴ x₁ = -1, y₁ = -1, z₁ = -1, x₂ = 3, y₂ = 5, z₂ = 7,
l₁ = 7, m₁ = -6, n₁ = 1, l₂ = 1, m₂ = -2, n₂ = 1
\(\left|\begin{array}{ccc}
x_{2}-x_{1} & y_{2}-y_{1} & z_{2}-z_{1} \\
l_{1} & m_{1} & n_{1} \\
l_{2} & m_{2} & n_{2}
\end{array}\right|\) = \(\left|\begin{array}{ccc}
4 & 6 & 8 \\
4 & -5 & -5 \\
7 & 1 & 3
\end{array}\right|\)
= 4(- 6 + 2) – 6(7 – 1) + 8(-14 + 6)
= -16 – 36 – 64
= -116
and
(m₁n₂ – m₂n₁)² + (l₂n₁ – l₁n₂)² + (l₁m₂ – l₂m₁)²
= (-6 + 2)² + (1 – 7)² + (-14 + 6)²
= 16 + 36 + 64
= 116
Hence, the required shortest distance between the given lines
= \(\left|\frac{-116}{\sqrt{116}}\right|\)
= \(\sqrt{116}\)
=\(2 \sqrt{29}\) units
or
The shortest distance between the lines
= \(\frac{282}{\sqrt{3830}}\)units
Hence, the gives lines do not intersect.

Question 8.
If lines \(\frac{x-1}{2}=\frac{y+1}{3}=\frac{z-1}{4}\) and \(\frac{x-3}{1}=\frac{y-k}{2}=\frac{z}{1}\) intersect each other then find k.
Solution:
The lines

∴ x₁ = 1, y₁ = -1, z₁ = 1, x₂ = 3, y₂ = k, z₂ = 0,
l₁ = 2, m₁ = 3, n₁ = 4, l₂ = 1, m₂ = 2, n₂ = 1.
Since these lines intersect, we get
\(\left|\begin{array}{ccc}
2 & k+1 & -1 \\
2 & 3 & 4 \\
1 & 2 & 1
\end{array}\right|\) = 0
∴ 2 (3 – 8) – (k + 1)(2 – 4) – 1 (4 – 3) = 0
∴ -10 + 2(k + 1) – 1 = 0
∴ 2(k + 1) = 11
∴ k + 1 = \(\frac{11}{2}\)
∴ k = \(\frac{9}{2}\)

Question 1.
Find the vector equation of the line passing through the point having position vector \(-2 \hat{i}+\hat{j}+\hat{k}\) and parallel to vector \(4 \hat{i}-\hat{j}+2 \hat{k}\).
Solution:
The vector equation of the line passing through A (\(\bar{a}\)) and parallel to the vector \(\bar{b}\) is \(\bar{r}\) = \(\bar{a}\) + λ\(\bar{b}\), where λ is a scalar.
∴ the vector equation of the line passing through the point having position vector \(-2 \hat{i}+\hat{j}+\hat{k}\) and parallel to the vector \(4 \hat{i}-\hat{j}+2 \hat{k}\) is
\(\bar{r}=(-2 \hat{i}+\hat{j}+\hat{k})+\lambda(4 \hat{i}-\hat{j}+2 \hat{k})\).

∴ the vector equation of the line passing through the points having position vectors \(3 \hat{i}+4 \hat{j}-7 \hat{k}\) and \(6 \hat{i}-\hat{j}+\hat{k}\) is

Question 3.
Find the vector equation of line passing through the point having position vector \(5 \hat{i}+4 \hat{j}+3 \hat{k}\) and having direction ratios -3, 4, 2.
Solution:
Let A be the point whose position vector is \(\bar{a}=5 \hat{i}+4 \hat{j}+3 \hat{k}\).
Let \(\bar{b}\) be the vector parallel to the line having direction ratios -3, 4, 2
Then, \(\bar{b}\) = \(-3 \hat{i}+4 \hat{j}+2 \hat{k}\)
The vector equation of the line passing through A (\(\bar{a}\)) and parallel to \(\bar{b}\) is \(\bar{r}=\bar{a}+\lambda \bar{b}\), where λ is a scalar.
∴ the required vector equation of the line is

Question 4.
Find the vector equation of the line passing through the point having position vector \(\hat{i}+2 \hat{j}+3 \hat{k}\) and perpendicular to vectors \(\hat{i}+\hat{j}+\hat{k}\) and \(2 \hat{i}-\hat{j}+\hat{k}\).
Solution:

Since the line is perpendicular to the vector \(\bar{b}\) and \(\bar{c}\), it is parallel to \(\bar{b} \times \bar{c}\). The vector equation of the line passing through A (\(\bar{a}\)) and parallel to \(\bar{b} \times \bar{c}\) is
\(\bar{r}=\bar{a}+\lambda(\bar{b} \times \bar{c})\), where λ is a scalar.
Here, \(\bar{a}\) = \(\hat{i}+2 \hat{j}+3 \hat{k}\)
Hence, the vector equation of the required line is
\(\bar{r}=(\hat{i}+2 \hat{j}+3 \hat{k})+\lambda(2 \hat{i}+\hat{j}-3 \hat{k})\)

Question 5.
Find the vector equation of the line passing through the point having position vector \(-\hat{i}-\hat{j}+2 \hat{k}\) and parallel to the line \(\bar{r}=(\hat{i}+2 \hat{j}+3 \hat{k})+\lambda(3 \hat{i}+2 \hat{j}+\hat{k})\).
Solution:
Let A be point having position vector \(\bar{a}\) = \(-\hat{i}-\hat{j}+2 \hat{k}\)
The required line is parallel to the line

The vector equation of the line passing through A(\(\bar{a}\)) and parallel to \(\bar{b}\) is \(\bar{r}\) = \(\bar{a}\) + λ\(\bar{b}\) where λ is a scalar.
∴ the required vector equation of the line is
\(\overline{\mathrm{r}}=(-\hat{i}-\hat{j}+2 \hat{k})+\lambda(3 \hat{i}+2 \hat{j}+\hat{k})\).

\(\frac{x-x_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}\) = \(\frac{y-y_{1}}{y_{2}-y_{1}}\) = \(\frac{z-z_{1}}{z_{2}-z_{1}}\)
Here, (x₁, y₁, z₁) = (-2, 3, 4) and (x₂, y₂, z₂) = (4, -1, 0)
∴ the required cartesian equations of the line AB are


∴ coordinates of C satisfy the equations of the line AB.

Solution:
The equations of the lines are

From (1), x = -1 -10λ, y = -3 – 2, z = 4 + λ
∴ the coordinates of any point on the line (1) are
(-1 – 10λ, – 3 – λ, 4 + λ)
From (2), x = -10 – u, y = -1 – 3u, z = 1 + 4u
∴ the coordinates of any point on the line (2) are
(-10 – u, -1 – 3u, 1 + 4u)
Lines (1) and (2) intersect, if
(- 1 – 10λ, – 3 – λ, 4 + 2) = (- 10 – u, -1 – 3u, 1 + 4u)
∴ the equations -1 – 10λ = -10 – u, -3 – 2= – 1 – 3u
and 4 + λ = 1 + 4u are simultaneously true.
Solving the first two equations, we get, λ = 1 and u = 1. These values of λ and u satisfy the third equation also.
∴ the lines intersect.
Putting λ = 1 in (-1 – 10λ, -3 – 2, 4 + 2) or u = 1 in (-10 – u, -1 – 3u, 1 + 4u), we get
the point of intersection (-11, -4, 5).

Solution:

The vector perpendicular to the vectors \(\bar{b}\) and \(\bar{c}\) is given by

Since the required line is perpendicular to the given lines, it is perpendicular to both \(\bar{b}\) and \(\bar{c}\).

The equation of the line passing through A(\(\bar{a}\)) and parallel to \(\bar{b} \times \bar{c}\) is
\(\bar{r}=\bar{a}+\lambda(\bar{b} \times \bar{c})\), where λ is a scalar.
Here, \(\bar{a}\) = \(3 \hat{i}-\hat{j}+2 \hat{k}\)
∴ the equation of the required line is

Question 11.
Show that the line \(\frac{x-2}{1}=\frac{y-4}{2}=\frac{z+4}{-2}\) passes through the origin.
Solution:
The equation of the line is
\(\frac{x-2}{1}=\frac{y-4}{2}=\frac{z+4}{-2}\)
The coordinates of the origin O are (0, 0, 0)

(i) It lies in YZ plane and makes 60º with positive Y-axis and |\(\bar{a}\)| = 4
Solution:
Let α, β, γ be the direction angles of \(\bar{a}\)
Since \(\bar{a}\) lies in YZ-plane, it is perpendicular to X-axis
∴ α = 90°
It is given that β= 60°
∵ cos²α + cos²β + cos²γ = 1
∴ cos²90° + cos²60° + cos²γ = 1
∴ 0 + \(\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^{2}\) + cos²γ = 1
∴ cos²γ = 1 – \(\frac{1}{4}=\frac{3}{4}\)
∴ cos γ = \(\pm \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\)

Question 11.
Find the unit vectors that are parallel to the tangent line to the parabola y = x² at the point (2, 4)
Solution:
Differentiating y = x² w.r.t. x, we get \(\) = 2x
Slope of tangent at P(2, 4) = \(\left(\frac{d y}{d x}\right)_{\text {at } \mathrm{P}(2, 4)}\) = 2 × 2 = 4
∴ the equation of tangent at P is
y – 4 = 4(-2)
∴ y = 4x – 4
∴ y = 4x is equation of line parallel to the tangent at P and passing through the origin O.
4x = y, z = 0 ∴ \(\frac{x}{1}=\frac{y}{4}\), z = 0
∴ the direction ratios of this line are 1, 4, 0
∴ its direction cosines are

Express the vector \(\hat{i}+4 \hat{j}-4 \hat{k}\) as a linear combination of the vectors \(2 \hat{i}-\hat{j}+3 \hat{k}\), \(\hat{i}-2 \hat{j}+4 \hat{k}\) and \(-\hat{i}+3 \hat{j}-5 \hat{k}\)
Solution:

By equality of vectors,
2x + 2y – z = 1
-x – 2y + 3z = 4
3x + 4y – 5z = -4
We have to solve these equations by using Cramer’s Rule.
D = \(\left|\begin{array}{ccc}
2 & 2 & -1 \\
-1 & -2 & 3 \\
3 & 4 & -5
\end{array}\right|\)
= 2(10 – 12) – 2(5 – 9) – 1(-4 + 6)
= -4 + 8 – 2
= 2 ≠ 0
D_x = \(\left|\begin{array}{ccc}
1 & 2 & -1 \\
4 & -2 & 3 \\
-4 & 4 & -5
\end{array}\right|\)
= 1(10 – 12) – 2(-20 + 12) – 1 (16 – 8)
= -2 + 16 – 8
= 6
D_y = \(\left|\begin{array}{ccc}
2 & 1 & -1 \\
-1 & 4 & 3 \\
3 & -4 & -5
\end{array}\right|\)
= 2(-20 + 12) – 1(5 – 9) – 1(4 – 12)
= -16 – 4 – 8
= -28
D_z = \(\left|\begin{array}{ccc}
2 & 2 & 1 \\
-1 & -2 & 4 \\
3 & 4 & -4
\end{array}\right|\)
= 2(8 – 16) – 2(4 – 12) + 1(-4 + 6)
= -16 – 16 + 2
= -30

given by \(\bar{d}\) = λ\(\left(\frac{\bar{a}}{|\bar{a}|}+\frac{\bar{b}}{|\bar{b}|}\right)\)
Solution:

Choose any point P on the angle bisector of ∠AOB. Draw PM parallel to OB.
∴ ∠OPM = ∠POM
= ∠POB
Hence, OM = MP
∴ OM and MP is the same scalar multiple of unit vectors \(\hat{a}\) and \(\hat{b}\) along these directions,

Question 14.
The position vectors f three consecutive vertices of a parallelogram are \(\hat{i}+\hat{j}+\hat{k}\), \(\hat{i}+3 \hat{j}+5 \hat{k}\) and \(7 \hat{i}+9 \hat{j}+11 \hat{k}\) Find the position vector of the fourth vertex.
Solution:
Let ABCD be a parallelogram.
Let \(\bar{a}\), \(\bar{b}\), \(\bar{c}\), \(\bar{d}\) be the position vectors of the vertices
A, B, C, D of the parallelogram,

Solution:
Let A, B and P have position vectors \(\bar{a}\), \(\bar{b}\) and \(\bar{p}\) respectively.

∴ coordinates of B are (-4, 9, 6).

Question 16.
Prove that the sum of the three vectors determined by the medians of a triangle directed from the vertices is zero.
Solution:
Let \(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{a}}\), \(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{b}}\) and \(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{c}}\) are the position vectors of the vertices A, B and C respectively.
Then we know that the position vector of the centroid O of the triangle is \(\frac{\vec{a}+\vec{b}+\vec{c}}{3}\)
Therefore sum of the three vectors \(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{OA}}\), \(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{OB}}\) and \(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{OC}}\), is

Hence, Sum os the three vectors determined by the medians of a triangle directed from the vertices is zero.

Question 17.
ABCD is a parallelogram E, F are the mid points of BC and CD respectively. AE, AF meet the diagonal BD at Q and P respectively. Show that P and Q trisect DB.
Solution:


LHS is the position vector of the point on AE and RHS is the position vector of the point on DB. But AE and DB meet at Q.

LHS is the position vector of the point on AF and RHS is the position vector of the point on DB.
But AF and DB meet at P.
∴ \(\bar{p}=\frac{\bar{b}+2 \bar{d}}{1+2}\)
∴ P divides DB in the ratio 1 : 2 … (5)
From (4) and (5), if follows that P and Q trisect DB.

Question 18.
If aBC is a triangle whose orthocenter is P and the circumcenter is Q, then prove that \(\overline{P A}\) + \(\overline{P C}\) + \(\overline{P B}\) = 2 \(\overline{P Q}\)

Let G be the centroid of the ∆ ABC.
Let A, B, C, G, Q have position vectors \(\bar{a}\), \(\bar{b}\), \(\bar{c}\), \(\bar{g}\), \(\bar{q}\) w.r.t. P. We know that Q, G, P are collinear and G divides segment QP internally in the ratio 1 : 2.

Question 19.
If P is orthocenter, Q is circumcenter and G is centroid of a triangle ABC, then prove that \(\overline{Q P}\) = 3\(\overline{Q G}\)
Solution:
Let \(\bar{p}\) and \(\bar{g}\) be the position vectors of P and G w.r.t. the circumcentre Q.
i.e. \(\overline{\mathrm{QP}}\) = p and \(\overline{\mathrm{QG}}\) = g.
We know that Q, G, P are collinear and G divides segment QP internally in the ratio 1 : 2
∴ by section formula for internal division,

Question 20.
In a triangle OAB, E is the midpoint of BO and D is a point on AB such that AD: DB = 2:1. If OD and AE intersect at P, determine the ratio OP:PD using vector methods.
Solution:

Let A, B, D, E, P have position vectors \(\bar{a}\), \(\bar{b}\), \(\bar{d}\), \(\bar{e}\), \(\bar{p}\) respectively w.r.t. O.
∵ AD : DB = 2 : 1.
∴ D divides AB internally in the ratio 2 : 1.
Using section formula for internal division, we get

LHS is the position vector of the point which divides OD internally in the ratio 3 : 2.
RHS is the position vector of the point which divides AE internally in the ratio 4 : 1.
But OD and AE intersect at P
∴ P divides OD internally in the ratio 3 : 2.
Hence, OP : PD = 3 : 2.

Question 21.
Dot-product of a vector with vectors \(3 \hat{i}-5 \hat{k}, 2 \hat{i}+7 \hat{j}\) and \(\hat{i}+\hat{j}+\hat{k}\) are respectively -1, 6 and 5. Find the vector.
Solution:

∴ 3x – 5z= -1 … (1)
∴ 2x + 7y = 6 … (2)
∴ x + y + z = 5 … (3)
From (3), z = 5 – x – y
Substituting this value of z in (1), we get
∴ 3x – 5(5 – x – y)= -1
∴ 8x + 5y = 24 … (4)
Multiplying (2) by 4 and subtracting from (4), we get
8x + 5y – 4(2x + 7y) = 24 – 6 × 4
∴ -23y = 0 ∴ y = 0
Substituting y = 0 in (2), we get
∴ 2x = 6 ∴ x = 3
Substituting x = 3 in (1), we get
∴ 3(3) – 5z = -1
∴ 5z = -10 ∴ z = 2
∴ \(\bar{r}=3 \hat{i}+0 \cdot \hat{j}+2 \hat{k}=3 \hat{i}+2 \hat{k}\)
Hence, the required vector is \(3 \hat{i}+2 \hat{k}\)

Question 22.

Solution:
\(\bar{a}\), \(\bar{b}\), \(\bar{c}\) are unit vectors

Adding (2), (3), (4) and using the fact that scalar product commutative, we get

Question 23.
If a parallelogram is constructed on the vectors \(\bar{a}=3 \bar{p}-\bar{q}\), \(\bar{b}=\bar{p}+3 \bar{q}\) and \(|\bar{p}|=|\bar{q}|=2\) and angle between \(\bar{p}\) and \(\bar{q}\) is\(\frac{\pi}{3}\) show that the ratio of the lengths of the sides is \(\sqrt {7}\) : \(\sqrt {13}\)
Solution:


Hence, the ratio of the lengths of the sides is \(\sqrt {7}\) : \(\sqrt {13}\).

Question 24.
Express the vector \(\bar{a}=5 \hat{i}-2 \hat{j}+5 \hat{k}\) as a sum of two vectors such that one is parallel to the vector \(\bar{b}=3 \hat{i}+\hat{k}\) and other is perpendicular to \(\bar{b}\).
Solution:

By equality of vectors
3m + x = 5 … (1)
y = -2
and m – 3x = 5
From (1) and (2)
3m + x = m – 3x
∴ 2m = -4x m ∴ m = -2x
Substituting m = -2x in (1), we get
∴ -6x + x = 5 ∴ -5x = 5 ∴ x = -1
∴ m = -2x = 2

Question 25.
Find two unit vectors each of which makes equal angles with \(\bar{u}\), \(\bar{v}\) and \(\bar{w}\). \(\bar{u}=2 \hat{i}+\hat{j}-2 \hat{k}\), \(\bar{v}=\hat{i}+2 \hat{j}-2 \hat{k}\) and \(\bar{W}=2 \hat{i}-2 \hat{j}+\hat{k}\)
Solution:

Question 26.
Find the acute angles between the curves at their points of intersection. y = x², y = x³
Solution:
The angle between the curves is same as the angle between their tangents at the points of intersection. We find the points of intersection of y = x² … (1)
and y = x³ … (2)
From (1) and (2)
x³ = x²
∴ x³ – x² = 0
∴ x²(x – 1) = 0
∴ x = 0 or x = 1
When x = 0, y = 0.
When x = 1, y = 1.

∴ equation of tangent to y = x³ at P is y = 0.
∴ the tangents to both curves at (0, 0) are y = 0
∴ angle between them is 0.
Angle at P = (1, 1)
Slope of tangent to y = x² at P

∴ equation of tangent to y = x³ at P is y – 1 = 3(x – 1) y = 3x – 2
We have to find angle between y = 2x – 1 and y = 3x – 2
Lines through origin parallel to these tagents are y = 2x and y = 3x
∴ \(\frac{x}{1}=\frac{y}{2}\) and \(\frac{x}{1}=\frac{y}{3}\)
These lines lie in XY-plane.
∴ the direction ratios of these lines are 1, 2, 0 and 1, 3, 0.
The angle θ between them is given by

Solution:
\(\bar{b}\) = \(4 \hat{i}+3 \hat{j}\)

Question 29.
Show that no line in space can make angle \(\frac{\pi}{6}\) and \(\frac{\pi}{4}\) with X- axis and Y-axis.
Solution:
Let, if possible, a line in space make angles \(\frac{\pi}{6}\) and \(\frac{\pi}{4}\) with X-axis and Y-axis.

∴ cos²γ = 1 – \(\frac{3}{4}-\frac{1}{2}=-\frac{1}{4}\)
This is not possible, because cos γ is real
∴ cos²γ cannot be negative.
Hence, there is no line in space which makes angles \(\frac{\pi}{6}\) and \(\frac{\pi}{4}\) with X-axis and Y-axis.

Question 30.
Find the angle between the lines whose direction cosines are given by the equation 6mn – 2nl + 5lm = 0, 3l + m + 5n = 0
Solution:
Given 6mn – 2nl + 5lm = o
3l + m +5n = 0.
From (2), m = 3l – 5n
Putting the value of m in equation (1), we get,
⇒ 6n(-3l – 5n) – 2nl + 5l(-3l – 5n) = 0
⇒ -18nl- 30n – 2nl- 15l2 – 25nl = 0
⇒ – 30n² – 45nl – 15l² = 0
⇒ 2n² + 3nl + l² = 0
⇒ 2n² + 2nl + nl + l² = 0
⇒ (2n + l) (n + l) = 0
∴ 2n + l = 0 OR n + l = 0
∴ l = -2n OR l = -n
∴ l = -2n
From (2), 3l + m + 5n = 0
∴ -6n + m + 5n = 0
∴ m = n
i.e. (-2n, n, n) = (-2, 1, 1)
∴ l = -n
∴ -3n + m + 5n = 0
∴ m = -2n
i.e. (-n, -2n, n) = (1, 2, -1)
(a₁, b₁, c₁) = (-2, 1, 1) and (a₂, b₃, c₃) = (1, 2, -1)
