Question:

In $R^3$, consider the planes $P_1 : y = 0$ and $P_2 : x + z = 1$. Let $P_3$ be a plane, different from $P_1$ and $P_2$, which passes through the intersection of $P_1$ and $P_2$. If the distance of the point $(0, 1, 0)$ from $P_3$ is $1$ and the distance of a point $(\alpha, \beta, \gamma)$ from $P_3$ is $2$, then which of the following relations is (are) true ?

  • $2a + ? + 2? + 2 = 0$
  • $2a - ? + 2? + 4 = 0$
  • $2a + ? - 2? - 10 = 0$
  • $2a - ? + 2? - 8 = 0$

The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation

Equation of $P_3$ will be
$\left(x + z - 1\right) + ?y = 0$
$x + ?y + z - 1 = 0$
Its disantace from $\left(0, 1, 0\right)$ will be
$\left|\frac{0+\lambda+0-1}{\sqrt{1+\lambda^{2}+1}}\right| = 1$
$? \left(? - 1\right)^{2} = 1 + ?^{2} + 1$
$? ?^{2} - 2? + 1 = ?^{2} + 2$
$? ? = -1/2$
$?$ Equation of $P_{3}$ is $2x - y + 2z - 2 = 0$
Its distance from $\left(a, ?, ?\right)$ is
$\frac{\left|2a - ? + 2? - 2\right|}{3} = 2$
$2a - ? + 2? - 2 = \pm\, 6$
$? 2a - ? + 2? - 8 = 0$
and $2a - ? + 2? + 4 = 0$

Three Dimensional Geometry

Mathematically, Geometry is one of the most important topics. The concepts of Geometry are derived w.r.t. the planes. So, Geometry is divided into three major categories based on its dimensions which are one-dimensional geometry, two-dimensional geometry, and three-dimensional geometry.

Direction Cosines and Direction Ratios of Line:

Consider a line L that is passing through the three-dimensional plane. Now, x,y and z are the axes of the plane and α,β, and γ are the three angles the line makes with these axes. These are commonly known as the direction angles of the plane. So, appropriately, we can say that cosα, cosβ, and cosγ are the direction cosines of the given line L.
