If the line passing through the points (5,1, a) and (3, b, 1) crosses the YZ plane at the point (0, 17 2 , -18 2 ) , then a+b=
Options
- A12
- B10
- C8
- D4
Correct answer
B. 10
Step-by-step solution
Equation of line through (5,1, a) and (3, b, 1) is x-5 (5-3) = y-1 1-b = z-a a-1 = (say) Since this line passess through (0, 17 2 , -13 2 ) Hence 0-5 5-3 = =- 5 2 aligned & and 17 2 -1 1-b = = -5 2 & b=4 & and - 13 2 -a a-1 = =- 5 2 & a=6 aligned Therefore a+b=6+4=10
