1.

The planes 5x + y + 3z + 1 = 0 and x + y – kz + 6 = 0 are orthogonal, find k.(a) 4(b) 2(c) 6(d) 8The question was posed to me in exam.My question is taken from Three Dimensional Geometry in portion Three Dimensional Geometry of Mathematics – Class 12

Answer»

Correct CHOICE is (b) 2

The best I can EXPLAIN: Relation between the planes a1x + b1y + C1Z + d1 = 0 and a2x + B2Y + c21z + d2 = 0, if their normal are perpendicular to each other is a1a2 + b1b2 + c1c2 = 0.

5(1) + 1(1) + 3(-K) = 0

-3k = -6

K = 2
