Equation of Straight Line in 3D
Question

Consider the lines L1:x12  =  y1  =z+31,   L2  :  x41  =  y+31  =  z+32 and the planes P1 : 7x + y + 2z = 3,  P2 : 3x + 5y – 6z = 4. Let ax + by + cz = d be the equation of the plane passing through the point of intersection of lines L1 and L2, and perpendicular to planes P1 and P2.

Match List-I with List-II and select the correct answer using the code given below the lists:

Solution

Any poin on L1 is (2λ + 1, – λ, λ – 3) and any point on L2 is (µ + 4, µ – 3, 2µ – 3)

  λ = 2, µ = 1

So, point of intersection is (5, – 2, – 1).

Also, normal vector of required plane is parallel to vector =  |i^j^k^712356|=16(i^3j^2k^)

So, equation of required plane is 1 (x – 5) – 3 (y + 2) – 2 (z + 1) = 0

⇒ x – 5y – 2z = 13

  a = 1, b = – 3, c = – 2, d = 13.
