Let P1{P}_{1} and P2{P}_{2} be two planes given by

P1:10x+15y+12z−60=0,{P}_{1}: 10x + 15y + 12z - 60 = 0,

P2:−2x+5y+4z−20=0{P}_{2}: - 2x + 5y + 4z - 20 = 0.

Which of the following straight lines can be an edge of some tetrahedron whose two faces lie on P1{P}_{1} and P2{P}_{2}?

Options

  1. Ax−10=y−10=z−15\dfrac{x - 1}{0} = \dfrac{y - 1}{0} = \dfrac{z - 1}{5}
  2. Bx−6−5=y2=z3\dfrac{x - 6}{- 5} = \dfrac{y}{2} = \dfrac{z}{3}
  3. Cx−2=y−45=z4\dfrac{x}{- 2} = \dfrac{y - 4}{5} = \dfrac{z}{4}
  4. Dx1=y−4−2=z3\dfrac{x}{1} = \dfrac{y - 4}{- 2} = \dfrac{z}{3}

Correct answer

A. x−10=y−10=z−15\dfrac{x - 1}{0} = \dfrac{y - 1}{0} = \dfrac{z - 1}{5}

10×1+15×1+12×(5λ+1)−60=010 \times 1 + 15 \times 1 + 12 \times \left(5\lambda + 1\right) - 60 = 0

⇒60λ=23⇒λ=2360⇒ 60\lambda = 23 ⇒ \lambda = \dfrac{23}{60} now we can see line is intersecting the plane at some point,

Now checking for plane (2)\left(2\right) we have,

−2×1+5×1+4×(5λ+1)−20=0- 2 \times 1 + 5 \times 1 + 4 \times \left(5\lambda + 1\right) - 20 = 0

⇒20λ=13⇒λ=1320⇒ 20\lambda = 13 ⇒ \lambda = \dfrac{13}{20}

So, we can say line is also intersecting plane P2{P}_{2} for some value of λ\lambda, So this line can be edge of tetrahedron.

Now solving for option \left(B\right)\dfrac{x - 6}{- 5} = \dfrac{y}{2} = \dfrac{z}{3}anypointonthelinewillbe(−5λ+6,2λ,3λ)any point on the line will be \left(- 5\lambda + 6, 2\lambda, 3\lambda\right)

Similarly putting in plane P1 and P2{P}_{1} \text{ and } {P}_{2} we get value of λ\lambda as λP1=0 and λP2=1{\lambda}_{{P}_{1}} = 0 \text{ and } {\lambda}_{{P}_{2}} = 1

So, it can be the edge of tetrahedron.

Now solving for option \left(C\right)\dfrac{x}{- 2} = \dfrac{y - 4}{5} = \dfrac{z}{4}anypointonthislinewillbe(−2λ,5λ+4,4λ)any point on this line will be \left(- 2\lambda, 5\lambda + 4, 4\lambda\right)

Similarly checking in plane we get,

λP1=0 and λP2=0{\lambda}_{{P}_{1}} = 0 \text{ and } {\lambda}_{{P}_{2}} = 0, so it is passing through one point and not lying on plane

So, it cannot be the edge of tetrahedron.

Now checking for option (D)x1=y−4−2=z3\left(D\right)\dfrac{x}{1} = \dfrac{y - 4}{- 2} = \dfrac{z}{3} now any point on this line will be \left(\lambda, - 2\lambda + 4, 3\lambda\right)andforand for\lambda = 0pointwillbe(0,−4,0)point will be \left(0, - 4, 0\right) which is lying on line of intersection and DR of plane P2{P}_{2} is \left(- 2, 5, 4\right)andDRoflineis(1,−2,3)and DR of line is \left(1, - 2, 3\right),

Now line is lying completely on plane P2{P}_{2} as −2×1+5×(−2)+3×4=0- 2 \times 1 + 5 \times \left(- 2\right) + 3 \times 4 = 0

Hence, it can be the edge of tetrahedron.
