####28. The equation of the line passing through (4,3,1), parallel to the plane x+2yz5=0 and intersecting the line

(2019 Main, 9 Jan I) x+13=y32=z21 is

(a) x+43=y31=z11

(b) x+41=y31=z11

(c) x+41=y31=z13

(d) x42=y+31=z+14

Show Answer

Answer:

(a)

Solution:

  1. Any point on the line x+13=y32=z21 is of the form (3λ1,2λ+3,λ+2)

[takex+13=y32=z21=λx=3λ1,y=2λ+3 and z=λ+2]

So, the coordinates of point of intersection of two lines will be (3λ1,2λ+3,λ+2) for some λR.

Let the point A(3λ1,2λ+3,λ+2) and B(4,3,1)

 Then, AB=OBOA=(4i^+3j^+k^)(3λ1)i^+(2λ+3)j^+(λ+2)k^=(3λ3)i^2λj^+(λ1)k^

Now, as the line is parallel to the given plane, therefore AB will be parallel to the given plane and so AB will be perpendicular to the normal of plane.

ABλ=0, where n=i^+2j^k^ is normal to the plane.

((3λ3)i^2λj^+(λ1)k^)(i^+2j^k^)=03(λ1)4λ+(1)(λ1)=0[ If a=a1i^+a2j^+a3k^ and b=b1i^+b2j^+b3k^, then ab=a1b1+a2b2+a3b3]3λ34λλ+1=02λ=2λ=1

Now, the required equation is the equation of line joining A(2,1,3) and B(4,3,1), which is

x(4)2(4)=y313=z131

[ Equation of line joining (x1,y1,z1) and (x2,y2,z2) is

xx1x2x1=yy1y2y1=zz1z2z1x+46=y32=z12 or x+43=y31=z11 [multiplying by 2 ]
