Gives the line (L: x-1 3 = y+1 2 = z-3 -1 ) and the plane ( : x-2 y-z=0 ). Of the following assertions, the only one that is always true is
Options
- AL is ( ) to ( )
- BL lies in ( )
- CL is not parallel to ( )
- DNone of these
Correct answer
B. L lies in ( )
Step-by-step solution
Since (3(1)+2(-2)+(-1)(-1)=3-4+1=0 ) ( ) Given line is ( ) to the normal to the plane i.e., given line is parallel to the given plane. Also, ((1,-1,3) ) lies on the plane (x-2 y-z=0 ) if (1-2(-1)-3=0 ) i.e., (1+2-3=0 ) which is true ( ) L lies in plane ( ).
