Consider a pyramid located in the first octant with, as origin, and and, along the and the , respectively. The base of the pyramid is a square with. The point S is directly above the mid-point T of diagonal, , such that, . Then


Options
- AThe acute angle between OQ and OS is
- BThe equation of the plane containing the triangle OQS is
- CThe length of the perpendicular from P to the plane containing the triangle OQS is
- DThe perpendicular distance from O to the straight line containing RS is
Correct answer
B. The equation of the plane containing the triangle OQS is
Step-by-step solution
O\left(0,0, 0\right) \to OriginP\left(3,0, 0\right) \to on x axisR\left(0,3, 0\right) \to on y axisQ\left(3,3, 0\right)T\left(\dfrac{3}{2}, \dfrac{3}{2}, 0\right), 5\left(\dfrac{3}{2}, \dfrac{3}{2}, 3\right)⇒ OQ = 3\sqrt{2} ⇒ OT = \dfrac{3}{\sqrt{2}}ST = 3<br >Let θ be a angle between OQ & OS<br >Using\delta SOT, tan \theta = \dfrac{ST}{OT} = \sqrt{2} ⇒ \theta = \tan^{- 1} \sqrt{2}O\left(0,0, 0\right), Q\left(3,3, 0\right), S\left(\dfrac{3}{2}, \dfrac{3}{2}, 3\right)lies on itlet ax + by + cz = d
\left(3,3, 0\right) ⇒ a + b = 0
Also, length of perpendicular from P to the plane containing the triangle OQS is PT .
Also equation of RS is \overset{\to}{r} = 3\overset{^}{j} + t\left(\dfrac{3}{2}\overset{^}{i} - \dfrac{3}{2}\overset{^}{j} + 3\overset{^}{k}\right)

Let M be foot of from origin on line passing through R,S
Let co - ordinates of
