The line `(3x-4)/(9)=(1-3y)/(9)=(z)/(3)` is perpendicular to the line of intersection of `P_(1)` and `P_(2)`C. The acute angle between `P_(1)` and `P_(2)` is `60^(@)`D. If `P_(3)` is the plane passing through the point (4,2,-2) and perpendicular to the line of intersection of `P_(1)` and `P_(2)`, then the distance of the point (2,1,1) from the plane `P_(3)" is "(2)/(sqrt(3))`

Answer» Correct Answer - C::D
We have,
`P_(1):2x+y-z=3`
and `" "P_(2):x+2y+z=2`
Here, `" "vecn_(1)=2hati+hatj-hatk`
and`" "vecn_(2)=hati+2hatj+hatk`
(a) Direction ratio of the line of intersection of `P_(1)` and `P_(2)` is `thetavecn_(1)xxvecn_(2)`
`i.e.|{:(hati,hatj,hatk),(2,1,-1),(1,2,1):}|=(1+2)hati-(2+1)hatj+(4-1)hatk`
`=3(hati-hatj+hatk)`
Hence, statement a is false.
(b) We have, `(3x-4)/(9)=(1-3y)/(9)=(z)/(3)`
`implies" "(x-(4)/(3))/(3)=((y-(1)/(3)))/(-3)=(z)/(3)`
This line is parallel to the line of intersection of `P_(1)` and `P_(2)`.
Hence, statement (b) is false.
(c) Let acute angle between `P_(1)` and `P_(2)` be `theta`.
We know that,
`costheta=(vecn_(1).vecn_(2))/(|vecn_(1)||vecn_(2)|)=((2hati+hatj-hatk).(hati+2hatj+hatk))/(|2hati+hatj-hatk||hati+2hatj+hatk|)`
`(2+2-1)/(sqrt(6)xxsqrt(6))=(1)/(2)`
`theta=60^(@)`
Hence, statement (c) is true.
(d) Equation of plane passing through the point (4,2,-2) and perpendicular to the line of intersection of `P_(1)` and `P_(2)` is
`3(x-4)-3(y-2)+3(z+2)=0`
`implies" "3x-3y+3z-12+6+6=0`
`implies" "x-y+z=0`
Now, distance of the point (2, 1, 1) from the plane
`x-y+z=0` is
`D=|(2-1+1)/(sqrt(1+1+1))|=(2)/(sqrt(3))`
Hence, statement (d) is true.
