Let P (2,1,5) be a point in space and Q be a point on the line r =( i - j +2 k )+ (-3 i + j +5 k ) . Then the value of for which the vector PQ is parallel to the plane 3 x-y+4 z=1 is
Options
- A-16 13
- B16 13
- C- 13 16
- D2 5
Correct answer
D. 2 5
Step-by-step solution
Given: - P(2,1,5) - Q=(1,2,5)+ (-3,1,5) - Plane equation: 3 x-y+4 z=1 Finding : P Q = -1-3 , 1+ , 5 Dot product with the normal vector of the plane 3,-1,4 must be zero for P Q to be parallel to the plane: gathered 3(-1-3 )-1(1+ )+4(5 )=0 -3-9 -1- +20 =0 10 -4=0 = 4 10 = 2 5 gathered
