Most Important Selected Qs for JEE AdvancedMathematicsThree Dimensional Geometry
A plane P makes intercepts with the axes, the sum of whose square is a constant equal to K ^2 . The foot of the perpendicular from the origin P is ( , , ) the value of in terms of K is
Options
- AK 3 3
- BK 2 3
- CK 3
- D2 K 3
Correct answer
A. K 3 3
Step-by-step solution
The normal to the plane will have direction cosine ( 1 3 , 1 3 , 1 3 ) and the distance of this plane from the origin will be OP = 3 x 3 + y 3 + z 3 = 3 =x+y+z=3 Intercepts lengths (3 , 3 , 3 ) aligned & (3 )^2+(3 )^2+(3 )^2= k ^2 & = k 3 aligned
