The position vector through the point (1,1, p) is a1→=i^+j^+pk^ Similarly, the position vector through the point (−3,0,1) is a2→=−4i^+k^ The equation of the given plane is r→.(3i^+4j^−12k^)+13=0 It is known that the perpendicular distance between a point whose position vector is a→ and the plane, r→.N→=d is given by, D=|a→.N→−d||N→| Here, N→=3i^+4j^−12k^ and d =−13 Therefore, the distance between the point (1, 1, p) and the given plane is D1=|(i^+j^+pk^).(3i^+4j^−12k^)+13||3i^+4j^−12k^|⇒D1=|3+4−12p+13|⇒D1=|20−12p|13..........(1) Similarly, the distance between the point (−3,0,1) and the given plane is D2=|(3i^+k^).(3i^+4j^−12k^)+13||3i^+4j^−12k^|⇒D1=|−9−12+13|⇒D1=813..........(2) It is given that the distance between the required plane and the points, (1,1, p)and(−3,0,1), is equal. ∴ D1 = D2 ⇒|20−12p|13=813⇒20−12p=8,or,−(−20−12p)=8⇒12p=12,or,12p=28⇒p=1,or,p=73

The position vector through the point $(1, 1, p)$ is $\vec{a_{1}} = \hat{i} + \hat{j} + p \hat{k}$

Similarly, the position vector through the point $(- 3, 0, 1)$ is

$\vec{a_{2}} = - 4 \hat{i} + \hat{k}$

The equation of the given plane is $\vec{r} . (3 \hat{i} + 4 \hat{j} - 12 \hat{k}) + 13 = 0$

It is known that the perpendicular distance between a point whose position vector is $\vec{a}$ and the plane, $\vec{r} . \vec{N} = d$ is given by, $D = \frac{| \vec{a} . \vec{N} - d |}{| \vec{N} |}$

Here, $\vec{N} = 3 \hat{i} + 4 \hat{j} - 12 \hat{k}$ and $d = - 13$

Therefore, the distance between the po

If $| \vec{a} | = 1$ , $| \vec{b} | = 4$ $\vec{a} \cdot \vec{b} = 2$  and $\vec{c} = 2 (\vec{a} \times \vec{b}) - 3 \vec{b}$ Then the angle between $\vec{b}$ and $\vec{c}$ is

Alok Kumar Singh

Given $| \vec{a} | = 1$ , $| \vec{b} | = 4$ , $\vec{a} \cdot \vec{b} = 2$

$\vec{c} = 2 (\vec{a} \times \vec{b}) - 3 \vec{b}$

Dot product with $\vec{a}$ on both sides

$\vec{c} \cdot \vec{a} = - 6$ ... (1)

Dot product with $\vec{b}$ on both sides

$\vec{b} \cdot \vec{c} = - 48$ ... (2)

$\vec{c} \cdot \vec{c} = 4 {| \vec{a} \times \vec{b} |}^{2} + 9 {| \vec{b} |}^{2}$

${| \vec{c} |}^{2} = 4 [{| \vec{a} |}^{2} \cdot {| \vec{b} |}^{2} - {(\vec{a} \cdot \vec{b})}^{2}] + 9 {| \vec{b} |}^{2}$

${| \vec{c} |}^{2} = 4 [(1) {(4)}^{2} - (4)] + 9 (16)$

${| \vec{c} |}^{2} = 4 [12] + 144$

${| \vec{c} |}^{2} = 48 + 144$

${| \vec{c} |}^{2} = 192$

$c o s θ = \frac{\vec{b} \cdot \vec{c}}{| \vec{b} | | \vec{c} |}$

$c o s θ = \frac{- 48}{\sqrt[]{192} \cdot 4}$

$c o s θ = \frac{- 48}{8 \sqrt[]{3} \cdot 4}$

$c o s θ = \frac{- 3}{2 \sqrt[]{3}}$

$c o s θ = \frac{- \sqrt[]{3}}{2}$ $θ = c o s^{- 1} (\frac{- \sqrt[]{3}}{2})$

(a – 1) × 2 + (b – 2) × 5 + (g – 3) × 1 = 0

2a + 5b + g – 15 = 0

Also, P lie on line

a + 1 = 2λ

b – 2 = 5λ

g – 4 = λ

2 (2λ – 1) + 5 (5λ + 2) + λ + 4 – 15 = 0

4λ + 25λ + λ – 2 + 10 + 4 – 15 = 0

30λ – 3 = 0

$λ = \frac{1}{10}$

a + b + g = (2λ – 1) + (5λ + 2) + (λ + 4)

$= 8 λ + 5 = \frac{8}{10} + 5 = 5.8$

Alok Kumar Singh

Take $\frac{x - 1}{2} = \frac{y - 2}{3} = \frac{z - 3}{4} = λ$

x = 2λ + 1, y = 3λ + 2, z = 4λ + 3

$\vec{A B}$ = (α − 2) $\hat{i}$ + (β − 3) $\hat{j}$ + (γ − 4) $\hat{k}$

Now,

(α − 2) ⋅ 2 + (β − 3) ⋅3 + (γ − 4) ⋅ 4 = 0

2α − 4 + 3β − 9 + 4γ −16 = 0

⇒ 2α + 3β + 4γ = 29

$L_{1} = \frac{x - λ}{1} = \frac{y - \frac{1}{2}}{\frac{1}{2}} = \frac{z}{- \frac{1}{2}}$

$∴ S D = \frac{| - 2 λ + 3 (2 λ + \frac{1}{2}) + λ |}{\sqrt[]{14}} = \frac{| 5 λ + \frac{3}{2} |}{\sqrt[]{14}}$

$5 λ + \frac{3}{2} = - \frac{7}{2} \Rightarrow 5 λ = - 5 \Rightarrow λ = - 1$

$∴ | λ | = 1$
