    Analytical Geometry:

    (3D) Vector Algebra

    1. The ratio in which the plane : r ( 𝑖̂-2𝑗̂+3𝑘̂)=17 divides the line going the points
    -2𝑖̂+4𝑗̂+7𝑘̂and 3𝑖̂-5𝑗̂+8𝑘̂ is

    (a) 1:5 (b)1:10 (c ) 3:5 (d)3:1

    Solution:
    (d) plane is x-2y+3z= 17:A(-2,4,7), B(3,-5,8)

    Let P divide AB in ratio K:1

    3𝐾−2 −5𝑘+4 −8𝑘+7


    ∴ , ,- lies on the plane
    𝑘+1 𝑘+1 𝑘+1

    3𝑘−2 −5𝑘+4 −8𝑘+7


    ⟹ 𝑘+1 -2( ) + 3( ) =17
    𝑘+1 𝑘+1

    3
    ⟹37k+11⟹17k+17⇒ 20k= b⟹ k=10
    Hence the ratio is 3:10

    2. The direction of ratios of the diagonal of a cube which joins the origin to the opposite
    corner are(when the 3 concurrent edges of the cube are co-ordinate axes )
    2 2 2
    (a) < , , > (b) <1, 1, 1> (c) < 2, -2, 1> (d) < 1, 2, 3>
    3 3 3
    Solution:
    (b) Direction ratios of op are:
    Z C(o,o,a) M(o,o,a)

    M(a,o,a) y2 P(o,a,a)

    O(o,o,o Y
    B(o,a,o)
    A(a,o,o) N(a,a,o)

    < a-o, a-o,a-o> i.e< 1 ,1, 1>


    3. The cosine of the angel between any two diagonals of a cube is:

    a] 1/2

    b] 1/3

    c] 2/3

    d] 1/√3.

    Solution:

    A] direction – ratio of OP are <1, 1,1>

    Direction – ratio of BM are <a-o,o-a,a-o>

    i.e,. <1,-1,1
    1
    ∴ cosθ = 1×1+1×[-1]×1×1 = = 1/3
    √3 √3

    √12 + 12 + 12 √12 + (−1)2 + 12

    4. Direction – cosins of the lines which makes equal angelswith the line axes in a space are:

    a] < ±1/3,±1/3,±1/3 >

    b]< ±6/7,±2/7,±3/7 >

    c]< ±1/√3,±1/√3,±1/√3 >

    d]< ±1/√7,±√3/14,±√1/14 >

    solution:

    c] let ∝,∝,∝ be the equal angels with the three axes.

    ∴ cos 2∝+ cos2∝ +cos2∝ = 1=3 cos 2 ∝ = 1

    Cos ∝ = ± 1/√3

    ∴ direction – cosines are < ±1/√3,±1/√3,±1/√3>


    5. If ∝,β,γ are the angels ,which a half ray makes with the positive directions of the axes,
    then sin2∝, sin2β,sin2γ is equal to :

    a] 1

    b] 2

    c] 0

    d] -1

    solution :

    (b) cos2∝ + cos2β + cos2γ = 1

    => 1- sin2 ∝ + 1- sin2β + 1- sin2γ = 1

    => sin2∝ + sin2β + sin2γ=2

    6. The lengh of the projection of the segment joining (x,y,z) and (x2,y2,z2) on the line:
    𝑥−∝ 𝑦−𝛽 𝑧−𝛾

    𝑙 𝑚 𝑛

    a] | l( x2-x1) + m(y2-y1)+n (z2-z1) |

    b] | ∝(x2-x1)+β(y2-y1)+γ(z2-z1) |

    c] | x2-x1 / l + y2-y1/ m z2-z1/n |

    d] None of these

    Solution :

    (a) x-/ l = y-β/m = z-γ/n

    B(x2,y2,z2)

    A(x1,y1,z1)

    7. A Straight line, which makes an angle of 60° with each of y and z-axes , inclined with x-
    axis at an angle.

    Solution:

    (c) cos2 60° +cos2 60° +cos2∝=1, where ∝ is the angle which the straight lines
    makes the x-axis

    1 1 1 1
    cos2∝= 1- 4 - 4 = 1 - =
