Let PP be the plane such that it contains the straight line x−12=y−33=z+21\dfrac{x-1}{2} = \dfrac{y-3}{3} = \dfrac{z+2}{1} and is perpendicular to the plane x+2y+3z=4x + 2y + 3z = 4. Let P1P_1 be the plane which passes through the point (4,2,2)(4, 2, 2) and is parallel to PP.

Then which of the following statements is (are) TRUE?

Options

  1. AThe equation of the plane PP is 7x−5y+z=−107x - 5y + z = -10
  2. BThe distance between the planes PP and P1P_1 is 3030
  3. CThe distance of the plane PP from the origin is 232\sqrt{3}
  4. DThe acute angle between the plane PandtheplaneP and the plane2x + 2y + z = 3isis\cos^{-1}\left(\dfrac{1}{3\sqrt{3}}\right)

Correct answer

A. The equation of the plane PP is 7x−5y+z=−107x - 5y + z = -10

Step-by-step solution

Let the normal vector to the plane PP be n⃗\vec{n}.

Since the plane PP contains the line x−12=y−33=z+21\dfrac{x-1}{2} = \dfrac{y-3}{3} = \dfrac{z+2}{1}, its normal vector n⃗\vec{n} is perpendicular to the line's direction vector b⃗=2i^+3j^+k^\vec{b} = 2\hat{i} + 3\hat{j} + \hat{k}.

Since PP is perpendicular to the plane x+2y+3z=4x + 2y + 3z = 4, n⃗\vec{n} is perpendicular to its normal vector n⃗1=i^+2j^+3k^\vec{n}_1 = \hat{i} + 2\hat{j} + 3\hat{k}.

n⃗=(2i^+3j^+k^)×(i^+2j^+3k^)=i^(9−2)−j^(6−1)+k^(4−3)=7i^−5j^+k^\vec{n} = (2\hat{i} + 3\hat{j} + \hat{k}) \times (\hat{i} + 2\hat{j} + 3\hat{k}) = \hat{i}(9-2) - \hat{j}(6-1) + \hat{k}(4-3) = 7\hat{i} - 5\hat{j} + \hat{k}

Plane PP passes through the point (1,3,−2)(1, 3, -2) which lies on the given line.

Equation of plane PP is 7(x−1)−5(y−3)+1(z+2)=0⇒7x−5y+z=−107(x-1) - 5(y-3) + 1(z+2) = 0 \Rightarrow 7x - 5y + z = -10

Statement (1) is TRUE.

The plane P1P_1 is parallel to PP and passes through (4,2,2)(4, 2, 2).

Equation of plane P1P_1 is 7(x−4)−5(y−2)+1(z−2)=0⇒7x−5y+z=207(x-4) - 5(y-2) + 1(z-2) = 0 \Rightarrow 7x - 5y + z = 20

Distance between parallel planes PP and P1P_1 is d=∣20−(−10)∣72+(−5)2+12=3075=23d = \dfrac{|20 - (-10)|}{\sqrt{7^2 + (-5)^2 + 1^2}} = \dfrac{30}{\sqrt{75}} = 2\sqrt{3}. Statement (2) is FALSE.

Distance of plane PP from the origin is d0=∣−10∣75=23d_0 = \dfrac{|-10|}{\sqrt{75}} = \dfrac{2}{\sqrt{3}}. Statement (3) is FALSE.

Angle θ\theta between the planes 7x−5y+z+10=07x - 5y + z + 10 = 0 and 2x+2y+z−3=02x + 2y + z - 3 = 0 is given by:

cos⁡θ=∣7(2)+(−5)(2)+1(1)∣72+(−5)2+1222+22+12=5759=5153=133\cos\theta = \dfrac{|7(2) + (-5)(2) + 1(1)|}{\sqrt{7^2+(-5)^2+1^2} \sqrt{2^2+2^2+1^2}} = \dfrac{5}{\sqrt{75} \sqrt{9}} = \dfrac{5}{15\sqrt{3}} = \dfrac{1}{3\sqrt{3}}

θ=cos⁡−1(133)\theta = \cos^{-1}\left(\dfrac{1}{3\sqrt{3}}\right). Statement (4) is TRUE.
