Most Important Selected Qs for JEE AdvancedMathematicsThree Dimensional Geometry
Paragraph The base of a pyramid is rectangular, three of its vertices of the base are A (2,2,-1), B (3,1,2) and C (1,1,1) (may or may not be in order). Its vertex at the top is P (4,- 26 3 ,- 10 3 ) and fourth vertex of the base is D. On the basis of above information, answer the following : Question Volume of the pyramid is -
Options
- A20 cubic units
- B10 cubic units
- C40 cubic units
- D30 cubic units
Correct answer
A. 20 cubic units
Step-by-step solution
Volume of the pyramid = 1 3 ( Base area ) Height = 1 3 | AB AC | EP = 1 3 | i -5 j -2 k | 120 = 1 3 30 120 =20 cubic units
