3D Geometry 3 Question 21

####21. The direction ratios of normal to the plane through the points (0,1,0) and (0,0,1) and making an angle π/4 with the plane yz+5=0 are

(2019 Main, 11 Jan I)

(a) 2,1,1

(b) 2,1,1

(c) 2,2,2

(d) 23,1,1

Show Answer

Answer:

(b,c)

Solution:

  1. Let the equation of plane be

a(x0)+b(y+1)+c(z0)=0

[ Equation of plane passing through a point (x1,y1,z1) is given by a(xx1)+b(yy1)+c(zz1)=0] ax+by+cz+b=0

Since, it also passes through (0,0,1), therefore, we get

c+b=0

Now, as angle between the planes

ax+by+cz+b=0

and

yz+5=0 is π4

cosπ4=|n1n2||n1||n2|; where n1=ai^+bj^+ck^

and n2=0i^+j^k^

12=|(ai^+bj^+ck^)(0i^+j^k^)|a2+b2+c20+1+1=|bc|a2+b2+c22

a2+b2+c2=|bc|2=(bc)2=b2+c22bc

a2=2bc

a2=2b2

a=±2b

[Using Eq. (ii)]

Direction ratios (a,b,c)=(±2,1,1)

So, options (b) and (c) are correct because

2,2,2 and 2,1,1. are multiple of each other.
