Explanation:
$ \begin{aligned} & (2 x+y-z-3)+\lambda(5 x-3 y)+4 z+9)=0 \\\\ & (5 \lambda+2) x+(1-3 \lambda) y+(4 \lambda-1) z+9 \lambda-3=0 \\\\ & \overrightarrow{\mathrm{n}} \cdot \overrightarrow{\mathrm{b}}=0 \text { where } \overrightarrow{\mathrm{b}}(2,4,5) \\\\ & 2(5 \lambda+2)+4(1-3 \lambda)+5(4 \lambda-1)=0 \\\\ & \lambda=-\frac{1}{6} \end{aligned} $
Plane $7 x+9 y-10 z-27=0$
Equation of line $\mathrm{AB}$ is
$ \frac{\mathrm{x}-8}{-3}=\frac{\mathrm{y}+1}{4}=\frac{z+19}{12}=\lambda $
Let $B=(8-3 \lambda,-1+4 \lambda,-19+12 \lambda)$ lies on plane $P$
$ \begin{aligned} & \therefore 7(8-3 \lambda)+9(4 \lambda-1)-10(12 \lambda-19)=27 \\\\ & \lambda=2 \\\\ & \therefore \text { Point } B=(2,7,5) \\\\ & A B=\sqrt{6^2+8^2+24^2}=26 \end{aligned} $
Let the image of the point $\left(\frac{5}{3}, \frac{5}{3}, \frac{8}{3}\right)$ in the plane $x-2 y+z-2=0$ be P. If the distance of the point $Q(6,-2, \alpha), \alpha > 0$, from $\mathrm{P}$ is 13 , then $\alpha$ is equal to ___________.
Explanation:
$ \begin{aligned} & \frac{x-\frac{5}{3}}{1}=\frac{y-\frac{5}{3}}{-2}=\frac{\mathrm{z}-\frac{8}{3}}{1}=\frac{-2\left(1 \times \frac{5}{3}+(-2) \times \frac{8}{3}+1 \times \frac{8}{3}-2\right)}{1^2+2^2+1^2} =\frac{1}{3} \\\\ & \therefore x=2, y=1, \mathrm{z}=3 \\\\ &PQ^2 = 13^2=(6-2)^2+(-2-1)^2+(\alpha-3)^2 \\\\ & \Rightarrow(\alpha-3)^2=144 \Rightarrow \alpha=15(\because \alpha>0) \end{aligned} $
Let the plane $x+3 y-2 z+6=0$ meet the co-ordinate axes at the points A, B, C. If the orthocenter of the triangle $\mathrm{ABC}$ is $\left(\alpha, \beta, \frac{6}{7}\right)$, then $98(\alpha+\beta)^{2}$ is equal to ___________.
Explanation:
$ \begin{aligned} & \overrightarrow{\mathrm{AH}} \cdot \overrightarrow{\mathrm{BC}}=0 \\\\ & \left(\alpha+6, \beta, \frac{6}{7}\right) \cdot(0,2,3)=0 \\\\ & \beta=\frac{-9}{7} \\\\ & \overrightarrow{\mathrm{CH}} \cdot \overrightarrow{\mathrm{AB}}=0 \\\\ & \left(\alpha, \beta, \frac{-15}{7}\right) \cdot(6,-2,0)=0 \\\\ & 6 \alpha-2 \beta=0 \\\\ & \alpha=\frac{-3}{7} \end{aligned} $
$ 98(\alpha+\beta)^2=(98) \frac{(144)}{49}=288 $
Let the line $l: x=\frac{1-y}{-2}=\frac{z-3}{\lambda}, \lambda \in \mathbb{R}$ meet the plane $P: x+2 y+3 z=4$ at the point $(\alpha, \beta, \gamma)$. If the angle between the line $l$ and the plane $P$ is $\cos ^{-1}\left(\sqrt{\frac{5}{14}}\right)$, then $\alpha+2 \beta+6 \gamma$ is equal to ___________.
Explanation:
$ P: x+2 y+3 z=4$
Vector parallel to line : $\langle 1,2, \lambda\rangle=\bar{b}$
Normal vector to plane $P:<1,2,3\rangle=\bar{n}$
Angle between plane and line is $\theta$
Then, $\sin \theta=\frac{<1,2, \lambda>\cdot<1,2,3>}{\sqrt{1^2+2^2+\lambda^2} \cdot \sqrt{1^2+2^2+3^2}}$
$ \Rightarrow \frac{3}{\sqrt{14}}=\frac{1+4+3 \lambda}{\sqrt{\lambda^2+5} \sqrt{14}} \Rightarrow \lambda=\frac{2}{3} $
$ L_1 \equiv \frac{x-0}{3}=\frac{y-1}{6}=\frac{z-3}{2}=\mu $
Any point on line : $(3 \mu, 6 \mu+1,2 \mu+3)$
It lies on P
$ \begin{aligned} & \therefore 3 \mu+12 \mu+2+6 \mu+9=4 \\\\ & \Rightarrow \mu=\frac{-1}{3} \end{aligned} $
Hence, $\alpha=3 \mu=-1, \beta=6 \mu+1=-1, \gamma=2 \mu+3=\frac{7}{3}$
Now, $\alpha+2 \beta+6 \gamma=11$
Let a line $l$ pass through the origin and be perpendicular to the lines
$l_{1}: \vec{r}=(\hat{\imath}-11 \hat{\jmath}-7 \hat{k})+\lambda(\hat{i}+2 \hat{\jmath}+3 \hat{k}), \lambda \in \mathbb{R}$ and
$l_{2}: \vec{r}=(-\hat{\imath}+\hat{\mathrm{k}})+\mu(2 \hat{\imath}+2 \hat{\jmath}+\hat{\mathrm{k}}), \mu \in \mathbb{R}$.
If $\mathrm{P}$ is the point of intersection of $l$ and $l_{1}$, and $\mathrm{Q}(\propto, \beta, \gamma)$ is the foot of perpendicular from P on $l_{2}$, then $9(\alpha+\beta+\gamma)$ is equal to _____________.
Explanation:
$l_{1}: \vec{r}=(\hat{\imath}-11 \hat{\jmath}-7 \hat{k})+\lambda(\hat{i}+2 \hat{\jmath}+3 \hat{k}), \lambda \in \mathbb{R}$ and
$l_{2}: \vec{r}=(-\hat{\imath}+\hat{\mathrm{k}})+\mu(2 \hat{\imath}+2 \hat{\jmath}+\hat{\mathrm{k}}), \mu \in \mathbb{R}$.
Let direction ratio of line $l$ be $a, b$ and $c$ Equation of line $l$$ \begin{aligned} \vec{r} & =(0 \hat{\mathbf{i}}+0 \hat{\mathbf{j}}+0 \hat{\mathbf{k}})+\delta(a \hat{\mathbf{i}}+b \hat{\mathbf{j}}+c \hat{\mathbf{k}}) \\\\ & =\delta(a \hat{\mathbf{i}}+b \hat{\mathbf{j}}+c \hat{\mathbf{k}}) \end{aligned} $
As, line $l$ is perpendicular to $l_1$ and $l_2$,
$ a \hat{\mathbf{i}}+b \hat{\mathbf{j}}+c \hat{\mathbf{k}}=\left|\begin{array}{ccc} \hat{\mathbf{i}} & \hat{\mathbf{j}} & \hat{\mathbf{k}} \\ 1 & 2 & 3 \\ 2 & 2 & 1 \end{array}\right|=-4 \hat{\mathbf{i}}+5 \hat{\mathbf{j}}-2 \hat{\mathbf{k}} $
$\therefore$ Equation of line $l: \vec{r}=\delta(-4 \hat{\mathbf{i}}+5 \hat{\mathbf{j}}-2 \hat{\mathbf{k}})$
As, $P$ is the intersecting point of $l$ and $l_1$
$ -4 \delta=1+\lambda, 5 \delta=-11+2 \lambda,-2 \delta=-7+3 \lambda $
After solving the above three equation, we get
$ \delta=-1 \text { and } \lambda=3 $
$\therefore$ Co-ordinate of point $P$ is $(4,-5,2)$.
$Q$ is a point on line $l_2$
Let co-ordinate of $Q$ be $(-1+2 \mu, 2 \mu, 1+\mu)$
$ \begin{gathered} \overrightarrow {PQ}=(-5+2 \mu) \hat{\mathbf{i}}+(2 \mu+5) \hat{\mathbf{j}}+(\mu-1) \hat{\mathbf{k}} \\\\ \overrightarrow {PQ} \cdot(2 \hat{\mathbf{i}}+2 \hat{\mathbf{j}}+\hat{\mathbf{k}})=0 \left[\because \overrightarrow {PQ} \perp l_2\right]\\\\ 2(-5+2 \mu)+2(2 \mu+5)+\mu-1=0 \\\\ 9 \mu-1=0 \Rightarrow \mu=\frac{1}{9} \end{gathered} $
$ \begin{aligned} & \therefore \alpha=-1+\frac{2}{9}=\frac{-7}{9}, \beta=2 \times \frac{1}{9}=\frac{2}{9}, r=1+\frac{1}{9}=\frac{10}{9} \\\\ & \text { Hence, } 9(\alpha+\beta+\gamma)=9\left(-\frac{7}{9}+\frac{2}{9}+\frac{10}{9}\right)=5 \end{aligned} $
Let the foot of perpendicular from the point $\mathrm{A}(4,3,1)$ on the plane $\mathrm{P}: x-y+2 z+3=0$ be N. If B$(5, \alpha, \beta), \alpha, \beta \in \mathbb{Z}$ is a point on plane P such that the area of the triangle ABN is $3 \sqrt{2}$, then $\alpha^{2}+\beta^{2}+\alpha \beta$ is equal to ___________.
Explanation:
We have, equation of plane $P$ is $x-y+2 z+3=0$
Perpendicular distance from $A$ to a plane $P$ i.e. N
$=\frac{|4-3+2(1)+3|}{\sqrt{1^2+(-1)^2+2^2}}$
$B(5, \alpha, \beta)$ lies on the plane $P$, so
$5-\alpha+2 \beta+3=0 \Rightarrow \alpha=2 \beta+8$ .........(i)
Direction ratio of $A N$ is $<1,-1,2>$
Equation of $A N$ is $\frac{x-4}{1}=\frac{y-3}{-1}=\frac{z-1}{2}$
Co-ordinate of $N: \frac{x-4}{1}=\frac{y-3}{-1}=\frac{z-1}{2}=\frac{-(4-3+2+3)}{1+1+4}$ $=-1$
$\Rightarrow x=3, y=4, z=-1$
$\therefore$ Co-ordinate of $N$ is $(3,4,-1)$
$ \begin{aligned} & \text { Also, } \operatorname{Area of}(\triangle \mathrm{ABN})=3 \sqrt{2} \\\\ & \Rightarrow \frac{1}{2} \times \mathrm{AN} \times \mathrm{BN}=3 \sqrt{2} \\\\ & \Rightarrow \frac{1}{2} \times \sqrt{6} \times \mathrm{BN}=3 \sqrt{2} \Rightarrow \mathrm{BN}=2 \sqrt{3} \\\\ & \text { or } \mathrm{BN}^2=12 \end{aligned} $
$ \begin{aligned} & \Rightarrow(5-3)^2+(\alpha-4)^2+(\beta+1)^2=12 \\\\ & 4+(2 \beta+4)^2+(\beta+1)^2=12(\text { using eqn (i)) } \\\\ & \Rightarrow 4 \beta^2+16+16 \beta+\beta^2+1+2 \beta=8 \\\\ & \Rightarrow 5 \beta^2+18 \beta+9=0 \end{aligned} $
$ \begin{aligned} & \Rightarrow(5 \beta+3)(\beta+3)=0 \\\\ & \Rightarrow \beta=-3 \left[\because \beta \in z \text {, so rejecting } \beta=\frac{-3}{5}\right]\\\\ &\text { and } \alpha=2 \beta+8=2(-3)+8=2\\\\ & \text { also } \alpha^2+\beta^2+\alpha \beta=9+4-6=7 \end{aligned} $
