The equaton of the line in vector and cartesian from that passes through the point with position vector ` 2 hati - hatj + 4hatk ` and is in the direction ` hati + 2 hatj - hatk ` areA. ` r = ( 2hati - hatj + 4hatk ) + lamda ( hati + 2 hatj - hatk ) , ( x - 1 ) / ( 2 ) = ( y - 2 ) / ( - 1 ) = ( z + 1 ) / ( - 4 ) `B. ` r = ( hati + 2 hatj - hatk ) + lamda ( 2 hati - hatj + 4 hatk ) , ( x - 1 ) / ( 2 ) = ( y - 2 ) / ( - 1 ) = ( z + 1 ) / (4 ) `C. ` r = ( 2hati - hatj + 4 hatk ) + lamda ( hati + 2 hatj - hatk ), ( x - 2 ) / ( 1 ) = ( y + 1 ) / ( 2 ) = ( z - 4 ) / ( - 1 ) `D.

Answer» Correct Answer - D
The equation of the line in vector from
` therefore r = 2 hati - hatj + 4hatk + lamda ( hati + 2 hatj - hatk ) `
Now, put ` r = x hati + y hati + z hatk `
` therefore x hati + y hatj + z hatk = ( 2 + lamda ) hati + ( - 1 + 2 lamda ) hatj + ( 4 + lamda ) hatk `
` rArr x = 2 + lamda, = - 12lamda , 2 = 4 - lamda `
` rArr ( x - 2 ) / ( 1 ) = ( y+ 1 ) /( 2 ) = ( z - 4 ) / ( - 1 ) `
which the required equation of the given line in cartesian form.
