Question 3. Let the image of the point katex[/katex] in the line \frac{x}{1}=\frac{y-1}{2}=\frac{z-2}{3} be the point \left(\alpha,\;\beta,\;\gamma\right) Then which one of the following points lies on the line passing through \left(\alpha,\;\beta,\;\gamma\right) and making angles \frac{2\pi}{3} and \frac{3\pi}{4} with the y-axis and z-axis respectively, and an acute angle with the x-axis?
(1)\left(1,-2,1+\sqrt2\right)
(2) \left(1,2,1-\sqrt2\right)
(3) (3,4,3-2 \sqrt{2})
(4) (3,-4,3+2 \sqrt{2})
Answer (3)
Explanation:
L_{1}=\frac{x}{1}=\frac{y-1}{2}=\frac{z-2}{3}=\lambda
\overrightarrow{PM} is perpendicular to line L_{1}
\overrightarrow{PM} \cdot \overrightarrow{b}=0 \quad(\overrightarrow{~b}=\hat{i}+2 \hat{j}+3 \hat{k}) \Rightarrow \lambda-1+4 \lambda+2+9 \lambda-15=0 14 \lambda=14 \Rightarrow \lambda=1 \therefore M=(1,3,5)\overrightarrow{Q}=2 \overrightarrow{M}-\overrightarrow{P}[M is midpoint of \overrightarrow{P} \& \overrightarrow{Q}]
\overrightarrow{Q}=2 \hat{i}+6 \hat{j}+10 \hat{k}-\hat{i}-7 \hat{k} \overrightarrow{Q}=\hat{i}+6 \hat{j}+3 \hat{k} \therefore(\alpha, \beta, \gamma)=(1,6,3)Required line having direction cosine ( l, ~m, ~n )
l^{2}+m^{2}+n^{2}=1
\therefore l=\frac{1}{2} [Line make acute angle with x -axis]
Equation of line passing through
will be \vec{r}=(\hat{i}+6 \hat{j}+3 \hat{k})+\mu\left(\frac{1}{2} \hat{i}-\frac{1}{2} \hat{j}-\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \hat{k}\right)
Option (3) satisfying for \mu=4
