If the projections of the line segment A B → on X Y , Y Z and Z X planes are 15 , 46 , 7 respectively, then the projection of A B → on y - axis is
Options
- A9
- B1
- C4
- D7
Correct answer
B. 1
Step-by-step solution
Let, the vector A B → = l i ^ + m j ^ + n k ^ Projection on X Y plane is l 2 + m 2 = 15   ⇒   l 2 + m 2 = 15     . . . 1 Projection on Y Z plane is m 2 + n 2 = 46   ⇒   m 2 + n 2 = 46     . . . 2 Projection on Z X plane is n 2 + l 2 = 7 ⇒ n 2 + l 2 = 49     . . . 3 Subtracting equation 2 from equation 3   , l 2 + n 2 - n 2 + m 2 = 49 - 46 = 3   ⇒ l 2 - m 2 = 3 ⇒   l + m l - m = 3   ⇒ l + m = 3 and l - m =
