CHSE Odisha 12th Class Math Notes Chapter 7 Continuity and Differentiability

Definition:
A function f is said to be continuous at a point a D_f if
(i) f(x) has definite value f(a) at x = a,
(ii) lim_x->a f(x) exists,
(iii) lim_x->a f(x) = f(a).
If one or more of the above conditions fail, the function f is said to be discontinuous at x = a. The  above definition of continuity of a function at a point can also be formulated as follows:
A function f is said to be continuous at x = a if
(i) holds and for a given ∈ > 0, there exists a δ > 0 depending on ∈ such that
|x – a| < 8 ⇒ |f(x) – f(a)| < ∈.
A function f is continuous on an interval if it is continuous at every point of the interval.
If the interval is a closed interval [a, b] the function f is continuous on [a, b] if it is continuous on (a, b),
lim_x->a+ f(x) = f(a) and lim_x->b- f(x) = f(b).

Differentiation of a function:
(a) Differential coefficient (or derivative) of a function y = f(x) with respect to x is

Fundamental theorems:

Then to get \(\frac{d y}{d x}\) it is convenient to take log of both sides before differentiation.

Derivative of some functions:

Higher order derivative:

Leibnitz Theorem:
If ‘u’ and ‘v’ are differentiable functions having ‘n’th derivative then
\(\frac{d^n}{d x^n}\)(u.v) = C₀u_nv + C₁u_n-1v₁ + C₂u_n-2v₂ + ….. + C_nuv_n

Partial derivatives and Homogeneous functions:
(a) If z = f(x, y) is any function of two variables then the partial derivative of z w.r.t. x and y are given below.

(b) Homogeneous function:
z = f(x > y) is a homogeneous function of degree ‘n’ if f(tx, ty) = tⁿ f(x, y).

Euler’s Theorem:
If z = f(x, y) is a homogeneous function of degree ‘n’ then \(x \frac{\partial f}{\partial x}+y \frac{\partial f}{\partial y}\) = nf(x, y).

Odisha State Board CHSE Odisha Class 12 Math Notes Chapter 6 Probability will enable students to study smartly.

CHSE Odisha 12th Class Math Notes Chapter 6 Probability

Important terms:
(a) Random experiment: It is an experiment whose results are unpredictable.
(b) Sample space: It is the set of all possible outcomes of an experiment. We denote the sample space by ‘S’.
(c) Sample point: Each element of a sample space is a sample point.
(d) Event: Any subset of a sample space is an event.
(e) Simple event: It is an event with a single sample point.
(f) Compound event: Compound events are the events containing more than one sample point.
(g) Mutually exclusive events: Two events A and B are mutually exclusive if A ∩ B = φ (i.e. occurrence of one excludes the occurrence of other)
(h) Mutually exhaustive events: The events A₁, A₂, A₃ ……. A_n are mutually exhaustive if A₁ ∪ A₂ ∪ A₃ ∪ A_n = S.
(i) Mutually exclusive and exhaustive events.
The events A₁, A₂, A₃ ……. A_n are mutually exclusive and exhaustive if
(i) A₁ ∩ A₂ = φ for i ≠ j
(ii) A₁ ∪ A₂ ∪ …… A_n = S.
(j) Equally likely events: Two events are equally likely if they have equal chance of occurrence.
(k) Impossible and certain events: φ is the impossible and S is the sure or certain event.
(i) Independent events: The events are said to be independent if the occurrence or non-occurrence of one does not affect the occurrence of non-occurrence of other.

Probability of an event:
Let S be the sample space and A is an event then the probability of A is
\(P(A)=\frac{|A|}{|S|}=\frac{\text { No.of out comes favourable to } A}{\text { Total number of possible outcomes. }}\)
Note:
1. P(φ) = 0
2. P(S) = 1
3. P(A’) = P (not A) = 1 – P(A)
4. P(A) + P(A’) = 1

Odds in favour and odds against an event:
Let in an experiment is the number of cases favourable to A and ‘n’ is the number of cases not in favour of A then

Addition theorem:
If A and B are any two events then
P(A ∪ B) = P(A) + P(B) – P(A ∩ B)
Note:
If A and B are mutually exclusive then
P(A ∪ B) = P(A) + P(B)
(∴ P(A ∩ B) = P(φ) – 0)

Conditional probability:
Let A and B are any two events and P(B) ≠ 0 then the conditional probability of A when B has already happened
P(A/B) = \( \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(B)} \)
Note:
1. P(A ∩ B) = P(B) . P(A/B)
2. If A and B are mutually independent events then P(A/B) = P(A).
∴ P(A ∩ B) = P(A) . P(B)
3. If A and B are independent events then (i) A’ and B’ (ii) A’ and B (iii) A and B’ are also independent.
4. P(A₁ ∩ A₂ ∩ A₃ ….. ∩ A_n) = P(A₁) . P(A₂/A₁) . P(A₃/A₂ ∩ A₁) ….. P(A_n/A₁ ∩ A₂ ∩ …. ∩ A_n-1)
5. Let A₁, A₂ ….. A_n are mutually exhaustive and exclusive events and A is any event which occurs with A₁ or A₂ or A₃ … or A_n then
P(A) = P(A₁) . P(A/A₁) + P(A₂) . P(A/ A₂) + …….. + P(A_n) . P(A/A_n).
This is called the total conditional probability theorem.

Baye’s theorem:
If A₁, A₂ …… A_n are mutually exclusive and exhaustive events and A is any event which occurs with A₁ or A₂ or A₃ or …. A_n then
\( P\left(A_i / B\right)=\frac{P\left(A_i\right) \cdot P\left(A / A_i\right)}{\sum_{i=1}^n P\left(A_i\right) P\left(A / A_i\right)} \)

Odisha State Board CHSE Odisha Class 12 Math Notes Chapter 2 Inverse Trigonometric Functions will enable students to study smartly.

CHSE Odisha 12th Class Math Notes Chapter 2 Inverse Trigonometric Functions

Definitions:
Let us first consider the function
Sin : R → [-1, 1]
Let y = Sin x, x ∈ R. Look at the graph of sin x. For y ∈ [-1, 1], there is a unique number x in each of the intervals…, \(\left[-\frac{3 \pi}{2},-\frac{\pi}{2}\right],\left[-\frac{\pi}{2}, \frac{\pi}{2}\right],\left[\frac{\pi}{2}, \frac{3 \pi}{2}\right], \ldots\) such that y = sin x.

Hence any one of these intervals can be chosen to make sine function bijective.

We usually choose \(\left[-\frac{\pi}{2}, \frac{\pi}{2}\right]\) as the domain of sine function. Thus sin: \(\left[-\frac{\pi}{2}, \frac{\pi}{2}\right]\) → [-1, 1] is bijective and hence admits of an inverse function with range \(\left[-\frac{\pi}{2}, \frac{\pi}{2}\right]\) denoted by sin^-1 or arcsin (see footnote).

Each of the above-mentioned intervals as range gives rise to different branches of sin^-1 function. The function sin^-1 with the range \(\left[-\frac{\pi}{2}, \frac{\pi}{2}\right]\) is called the principal branch which is defined below.

sin^-1 : [-1, 1] → \(\left[-\frac{\pi}{2}, \frac{\pi}{2}\right]\left[-\frac{\pi}{2}, \frac{\pi}{2}\right]\) defined by y = sin^-1 x ⇔ x = sin y.

The values of y (=sin^-1 x) in \(\left[-\frac{\pi}{2}, \frac{\pi}{2}\right]\) are called principal values of sin^-1.

Similar considerations for other trigonometric functions give rise to respective inverse functions. We define below the principal branches of cos^-1, tan^-1 and cot^-1.

cos^-1 : [-1, 1] → [0, π] defined by
y = cos^-1 x ⇔ x = cos y
tan^-1 : R → \(\left[-\frac{\pi}{2}, \frac{\pi}{2}\right]\) defined by
y = tan^-1 x ⇔ x = tan y
cot^-1 : R → (0, π) defined by
y = cot^-1 x ⇔ x = cot y

Important Properties

Property – I
We know that when
f : X → Y is invertible then fof^-1 = I_y and f^-1of = I_x.
Applying this we have.
(i) sin (sin^-1 x) = x, x ∈ [-1, 1]
cos (cos^-1 x) = x, x ∈ [-1, 1]
tan (tan^-1 x) = x, x ∈ R
cot (cot^-1 x) = x, x ∈ R
sec (sec^-1 x) = x, x ∈ R -(-1, 1)
cosec (cosec^-1 x) = x, x ∈ R -(-1, 1)

Property – II
(i) sin^-1(-x) = -sin^-1 x, x ∈ [-1, 1]
(ii) cosec^-1(-x) = -cosec^-1 x , |x| ≥ 1
(iii) tan^-1(-x) = -tan^-1 x, x ∈ R

Step-1
Methods of check Injective function:
Consider any two arbitrary x₁, x₂ ∈ A.

If we get x₁ = x₂ then f is one-one, otherwise f is many one.

Surjective (onto) function:
A function f : A → B is onto if Rng f = Co-domain f = B.

Step-2
Write y = f(x) and simplify to express x in terms of y.
Step-3
If x ∈ A, then find f(x)
Step-4

In case x ∉ A or f(x) ≠ y then f is not onto, it is into function.

Bijective function (one-one and onto):
f : A → B is a bijective function if its both one-one and onto.

Composition of functions:
Let f : X → Y and g : Y → Z, the composition of f and g denoted by gof, is defined as

Note:

1. gof is defined when Rngf ⊆ Dom g.
2. Dom gof = Dom f.
3. As gof(x) = g(f(x)), first f rule is applied then g rule is applied.
4. gof ≠ fog
5. If f : R → R and g : R→ R then gof and fog exist.
6. ho(gof) = (hog)of
7. If f : X → Y and g : Y → Z are one-one, then gof : X → Z is also one-one.
8. If f : X → Y and g : Y → Z are onto then go f : X → Z is also onto.
9. Let f : X → Y and g : Y → Z then
   (i) gof : X → Z is onto ⇒ g is onto.
   (ii) gof is one-one ⇒ f is one-one.
   (iii) gof is on to and g is one-one then f is onto.
   (iv) gof is one-one and f is onto ⇒ g is one-one.

Invertible functions:
A function f : X → Y is invertible if there exists a function g : Y → X, such that gof = idx and fog = idy.
The function g is called the inverse of f denoted by g = f^-1.

Step-4
Define g : Y → X as x = g(y) = Value of x in terms of y.
Step-5
find gof (x) and fog of (y).
Step-6
If gof (x) = x and fog (y) = y then f is invertible with f^-1.

Method-2:
Step-1
Show that ‘f’ is one-one.
Step-2
Show that ‘f’ is on to.
Step-3
Either from step-2 or otherwise, write x in terms of y and write f^-1 : Y → X defined as f^-1(y) = x (in terms of y).

Even and odd function:
A function f is even if f(-x) and odd if f(-x) = -f(x).

Note:

1. fi(x) + f(-x) is always even.
2. f(x) – f(-x) is always odd.
3. Every function can be expressed as the sum of one even and one odd function as
   f(x) = \(\frac{f(x)+f(-x)}{2}+\frac{f(x)-f(-x)}{2}\)

Let A is a nonempty set. Then a binary operation * on a set A is a function *:
A × A → A

Note :

1. Closure property: An operation * on a non-empty set A is a said to satisfy closure property if for every a, b ∈ A
   ⇒ a * b ∈ A.
2. If * is a binary operation on a non-empty set A, then must satisfy the closure property.
3. Number of binary operations on A where |A| = n is \(n^{n^2}\).

Properties of a Binary operation
Let * is a binary operation on A.

* is commutative if for all a, b ∈ A. a * b = b * a

2. Associative Law:
* is a associative if for all a, b, c ∈ A.
(a * b) * c = a * (b * c)

3. Distributive Law:
Let ‘*’ and ‘a’ are two binary operations on A.
‘*’ is said to be distributive over ‘o’ if for all a, b, ∈ A.
a * (b o c) = (a * b) o (a * c)

4. Existence of identity element:
e ∈ A is said to be the identity element for the binary operation if for all a ∈ A.
a * e = e * a = a

5. Existence of inverse of an element:
a^-1 ∈ A is inverse of a ∈ A if a * a^-1 = a^-1 * a = e, where e is the identity.

Operation or composition table for a binary operation.
Let * is any operation on a finite set A = {a₁, a₂ …… a_n}
The table containing the results of the operation * is known as the operation table.
We can study different properties of binary operation * from the table.

Operation table for * on A:

Study of properties from operation table:
1 . If all the entries of the table belong to A, then A is a binary operation.
2. If each row coincides with the corresponding column, then * is commutative.
3. If elements of a row are identical to the top row, then the leftmost element of that row is the identity element.
4. Mark the position of identity elements in the table. The leading elements in the corresponding row and column of that cell are inverse of each other.

Solution:
Equation of the plane through the point (-1, 3, 2) is
a (x + 1) + b (y – 3) + c (z – 2) = 0
If this plane is perpendicular to the plane
x + 2y + 2z = 5 and 3x + 3y + 2z = 8
then a + 2b +2c = 0
3a + 3b + 2c = 0
Solving we get \(\frac{a}{4-6}=\frac{b}{6-2}=\frac{c}{3-6}\)
or \(\frac{a}{-2}=\frac{b}{4}=\frac{c}{-3} \text { or, } \frac{a}{2}=\frac{b}{-4}=\frac{c}{3}\)
Equation of the required plane is

D.rs. of AB are < 6, -6, -4 >
Equation of the plane is
6 (x – 2) – 6 (y – 1) – 4 (z – 1) = 0

⇒ 3x – 4y + 6z = 12
⇒ \(\frac{x}{4}+\frac{y}{-3}+\frac{z}{2}\) = 1
This is in intercept form. The coordinates of the points where the plane meets the coordinate axes are (4, 0, 0), (0, -3, 0), (0, 0, 2).

(b) Write the equation of the plane 2x – 3y + 5z + 1 = 0 in normal form and find its distance from the origin. Find also the distance from the point (3, 1, 2).
Solution:

-2x + 3y – 5z = 1
Its normal form is

(c) Find the distance between the parallel planes 2x – 2y + z + 1 = 0 and 4x – 4y + 2z + 3 = 0.

2x – 2y + z + 1 = 0 … (1)
and 4x – 4y + 2z + 3 = 0 … (2)
We see that (0, 0, -1) lies on the plane (1).

or (2 + 3k) x + (3 – k) y + (k – 4) z + (2k + 1) = 0 … (3)
If the plane (3) passes through the point (3, 2, 1)
then (2 + 3k) 3 + (3 – k) 2 + (k – 4) + 2k + 1 = 0
⇒ 6 + 9k + 6 – 2k + k – 4 + 2k + 1 = 0

or, -7x + 39y – 49z – 8 = 0
or, 7x – 39y + 49z + 8 = 0

Solution:
Given planes are
x + 2y + 3z – 4 = 0 … (1)
and 2x + y – z + 5 = 0 … (2)
Any plane containing the line of intersection of the planes (1) and (2) is
x + 2y + 3z – 4 + k (2x + y – z + 5) = 0
⇒ (2k + 1) x + (k + 2) y + (3 – k) z + (5k – 4) = 0 … (3)
Given that the plane (3) is perpendicular to the plane
5x + 3y + 6z + 8 = 0 … (4)
Two planes are perpendicular if their normals are perpendicular.
D.rs. of the normal of the plane (3) are < 2k + 1, k + 2, 3 – k >.
D.rs. of the normal of the plane (4) are < 5, 3, 6 >.
If the normal are perpendicular then
5 (2k + 1) + 3 (k + 2) + 6 (3 – k) = 0
⇒ 10k + 3k – 6k + 5 + 6 + 18 = 0
⇒ 7k = -29

or, -51x – 15y + 50z – 173 = 0
or, 51x + 15y – 50z + 173 = 0

(c) Passing through the intersection of ax + by + cz + d = 0 and a₁x + b₁y + c₁z + d₁ = 0 and perpendicular to xy-plane.

or, (a + ka₁) x + (b + kb₁) y + (c + kc₁) z + (d + kd₁) = 0 … (3)
D.rs. of the normal of the plane (3) are < a + ka₁, b + kb₁, c + kc₁).
D.rs. of the normal of the xy-plane i.e., z = 0 are < 0, 0, 1 >
If the plane (3) is perpendicular to the xy-plane then
(a + ka₁) × 0 + (b + kb₁) × 0 + (c + kc₁) × 1 = 0

(d) Passing through the intersection of the planes x + 3y – z + 1 = 0 and 3x – y+ 5z + 3 = 0 and is at a distance 2/3 units from origin.
Solution:
Given planes are
x + 3y – z + 1 = 0 … (1)
and 3x – y + 5z + 3 = 0 … (2)
Any plane through the line of intersection of the planes (1 ) and (2) is
(x + 3y – z + 1)+ k (3x – y + 5z + 3) = 0
⇒ (3k + 1) x + (3 – k) y + (5k – 1) z + (3k + 1) = 0
The length of the perpendicular from origin onto the plane (3)
\(\frac{3 k+1}{\sqrt{(3 k+1)^2(3-k)^2+(5 k-1)^2}}=\frac{2}{3}\) (Given)
⇒ 9 (3k + 1)²
⇒ 4 {(3k + 1)² + (3 – k)² + (5k – 1)²}
⇒ 81k² + 54k + 9
= 4 {9k² + 6k + 1 + 9 + k² – 6k + 25k² + 1 – 10k}
= 4 {35k² – 10k + 11}
= 140k² – 40k + 44
⇒ 59k² – 94k + 35 = 0
⇒ 59k² – 59k – 35k + 35 = 0
⇒ 59k (k – 1) – 35 (k – 1) = 0
⇒ (k – 1) (59k – 35) = 0
⇒ k – 1 = 0 or 59k – 35 = 0
⇒ k = 1 or, k = \(\frac{35}{59}\)
∴ The planes are 4x + 2y + 4z + 4 = 0 and 82x + 71y + 58z + 82 = 0

Question 8.
Find the angle between the following pairs of planes.
(a) x + 3y – 5z + 1 = 0 and 2x + y – z+ 3 = 0
Solution:
Given planes are
x + 3y – 5z + 1 = 0 … (1)
and 2x + y – z + 3 = 0 … (2)
Angle between two planes is equal to the angle between their normals.
D.rs. of the normal to the plane (1) are < 1, 3, -5 >
D.rs. of the normal to the plane (2) are < 2, 1, -1 >.
If θ is the angle between the planes then

Solution:
Given planes are
x + 2y + 2z – 3 = 0 and 3x + 4y + 5z + 1 = 0

Solution:
Two planes are
x + 2y + 2z – 7 = 0 and 2x – y + z = 6
The d.rs. of the normals are < 1, 2, 2 > and <2, -1, 1 >.
If θ is the angle between two planes then

Question 9.
(a) Find the equation of the bisector of the angles between the following pairs of planes and specify the ones which bisects the acute angles;
(i) 3x – 6y + 2z + 5 = 0 and 4x – 12y + 3z – 3 = 0
Solution:
Given planes are
3x – 6y + 2z + 5 = 0 … (1)
and 4x – 12y + 3z – 3 = 0 … (2)
The equations of the bisectors are given by

So the plane (3) is a bisector for obtuse angle and the plane (4) is the bisector for acute angle.

(ii) 2x + y – 2z – 1 = 0 and 4x – 12y + 3z + 3 = 0
Solution:
Given planes are
2x + y – 2z – 1 = 0 … (1)
and 4x – 12y + 3z + 3 = 0 … (2)
The equation of bisector planes are

∴ θ > 45°
∴ Equation (3) is the bisector of the use angle and equation (4) is the bisector of acute angle.

(b) Show that the origin lies in the interior of the acute angle between planes.
x + 2y + 2z + 9 and 4x – 3y + 12z + 13 = 0;
Find the equation of bisector of the acute angle.
Solution:
Given planes are x + 2y + 2z – 9 = 0
and 4x – 3y + 12z + 13 = 0
These equations can be written as
-x – 2y – 2z+ 9 = 0 … (1)
4x – 3y+ 12z + 13 = 0 … (2)
Here a₁a₂ + b₁b₂ + c₁c₂
= (-1) 4 + (-2) (-3) + (-2) . 12
= -4 + 6 – 24 = -22 < 0
So the origin lies in the acute angle between the given planes.
The equations of the planes bisecting the angle between the given planes are

⇒ tan θ < 1 ⇒ θ < 45°
Hence the plane (3) bisects the acute angle between the given planes.

Question 10.
(a) Prove that the line joining (1, 2, 3), (2, 1, -1) intersects the line joining (-1, 3, 1) and (3, 1, 5)
Solution:
Let A = (1, 2, 3), B = (2, 1, -1), C = (-1, 3, 1), D = (3, 1, 5)
The line AB intersects CD if A, B, C, D are coplanar.
Equation of the plane

or, (x – 1) (2 + 4) – (y – 2) (-2 – 8) + (z – 3) (1 – 2) = 0
or, 6 (x – 1) + 10 (y – 2) – (z – 3) = 0
or, 6x+ 10y – z – 23 = 0
The point (3, 1, 5) lies on the plane (1) because
6x + 10y – z – 23 = 18 + 10 – 5 – 23 = 0 … (1)
As (1) is satisfied for the point (3, 1, 5), the point lies on the plane (1).
Hence the four points are coplanar. So the line AB is either parallel to the line CD.
or, AB is intersecting to CD.
D.rs. of AB are < 1, -1, -4 >.
D.rs. of CD are < 4, -2, 4 >.
So d.rs. of AB are not proportional to d.rs. of CD. So they are not parallel. Hence they are intersecting.

(b) Show that the point (-\(\frac{1}{2}\), 2, 0) is the circumcentre of the triangle formed by the points (1, 1, 0), (1, 2, 1) and (-2, 2, -1).
Solution:

Thus PA = PB = PC
Hence P is the circumcentre of the ΔABC.

Question 11.

(x₁, y₁, z₁) and (x₂, y₂, z₂) in a ratio – \(\frac{a x_1+b y_1+c z_1+d}{a x_2+b y_2+c z_2+d}\).
Solution:
Let A = (x₁, y₁, z₁) , B = (x₂, y₂, z₂)
Suppose that the line AB intersects the plane
ax + by + cz + d = 0 at P. … (1)
Suppose the P divides AB into the ratio m:n.
Then the coordinates of P are

Question 12.
A variable plane is at a constant distance p from the origin and meets the axes at A, B, C. Through A, B, C planes are drawn parallel to the co-ordinate planes. Show that the locus of their points of intersection is \(\frac{1}{x^2}+\frac{1}{y^2}+\frac{1}{z^2}=\frac{1}{p^2}\).
Solution:

The planes through the points A, B, C parallel to the coordinate planes are
x = a, y = b and z = c respectively.
Let P be the point of intersection of these planes.
Then p = (a, b, c)
Hence the locus of P is obtained by putting a = x, b = y, c = z in (2).
Hence the required locus is
\(\frac{1}{x^2}+\frac{1}{y^2}+\frac{1}{z^2}=\frac{1}{p^2}\). (Proved)

Question 13.
A variable plane passes through a fixed point (a, b, c) and meets the co-ordinate axes at A, B, C. Show that the locus of the point common to the planes drawn through A, B and C parallel to the coordinate planes is \(\frac{a}{x}+\frac{b}{y}+\frac{c}{z}\) = 1.
Solution:
Let the variable plane be
\(\frac{a}{\alpha}+\frac{b}{\beta}+\frac{c}{\gamma}\) = 1 … (1)
It meets the axes at A (α, 0, 0), B (0, β, 0) and C (0, 0, γ).
If P is the point of intersection of the planes drawn through A, B and C parallel to the coordinate planes then P = (α, β, γ).
Again the plane (1) passes through a fixed point (a, b, c).
So \(\frac{a}{\alpha}+\frac{b}{\beta}+\frac{c}{\gamma}\) = 1
∴ The locus of P is \(\frac{a}{x}+\frac{b}{y}+\frac{c}{z}\) = 1. (Proved)

Question 14.
The plane 4x + 7y + 4z + 81 = 0 is rotated through a right angle about its line of intersection with the plane 5x + 3y + 10z – 25 = 0. Find the equation of the plane in new position.
Solution:
Given that the plane
4x + 7y + 4z + 81 = 0 … (1)
is rotated through a right angle about the line of intersection with the plane
5x + 3y + 10z – 25 = 0 … (2)
Let the equation of the plane in new position be
4x + 7y + 4z + 81 + λ (5x + 3y -10z – 25) = 0
or, (4 + 5λ) x + (7 + 3λ) y + (4 + 10λ) z + (81 – 25λ) = 0
Then the angle between the planes (1 ) and (3) is 90° i.e., they are perpendicular.
So 4 (4 + 5λ) + 7 (7 + 3λ) + 4 (4 + 10λ) = 0
16 + 20λ + 49 + 21λ + 16 + 40λ = 0
81λ = -81
⇒ λ = -1
∴ The equation of plane in new position is
-x + 4y – 6z + 106 = 0
or, x – 4y + 6z – 106 = 0

Question 15.
The plane lx + my = 0 is rotated about its line of intersection with the plane z = 0 through angle measure α. Prove that the equation of the plane in new position is lx + my ± z \(\sqrt{l^2+m^2}\) tan α = 0.
Solution:
Given plane is lx + my = 0 … (1)
The plane (1) is rotated through an angle α about line of intersection of the plane (1) and the plane z = 0 … (2)
Let the equation of the plane in it’s new position be lx + my + kz = 0. … (3)
D.rs. of the normal to the plane (1) are < l, m, 0 >.
D.rs. of the normal to the plane (3) are < l, m, k >.
If α is the angle between the planes (1) and (3) then

So aa₁ + cc₁ + 1 = 0 (Proved)

Question 8.
Find the points of intersection of the line \(\frac{x-1}{1}=\frac{y+2}{3}=\frac{z-1}{-1}\) and the plane 2x + y + a = 9.
Solution:
Given line is \(\frac{x-1}{1}=\frac{y+2}{3}=\frac{z-1}{-1}\) = r (say)
∴ Any point on (1) is (r + 1, 3r – 2, -r + 1)
If it lies on the plane 2x + y + z – 9 = 0 then
2 (r + 1) + 3r – 2 + (-r + 1) – 9 = 0
or, 2r + 3r – r + 2 – 2 + 1 – 9 = 0
or, 4r = 8, or, r = 2
∴ The point of intersection is (3, 4, -1).

Question 9.
Find the coordinates of the point where the line joining (3, 4, -5) and (2, -3, 1), meets the plane 2x + y + z – 7 = 0.
Solution:
The straight line joining the points (3, 4, -5) and (2, -3, 1) is
\(\frac{x-3}{2-3}=\frac{y-4}{-3-4}=\frac{z+5}{1+5}\)
or, \(\frac{x-3}{-1}=\frac{y-4}{-7}=\frac{z+5}{6}\) = r (say)
Any point on the line is
(-r + 3, -7r + 4, 6r – 5)
If this point is the point of intersection of the line with the plane 2x + y + z – 7 = 0 then
2 (-r + 3) + (-7r + 4) + 6r – 5 – 7 = 0
or, -2r + 6 – 7r + 4 + 6r – 12 = 0
or, -3r = 2 or, r = \(\frac{-2}{3}\)
∴ The point of intersection is
\(\left(\frac{11}{3}, \frac{26}{3}, \frac{-27}{3}\right) \text { i.e., }\left(\frac{11}{3}, \frac{26}{3},-9\right)\).

Question 10.
(a) Find the distance of the point (-1, -5, -10) from the point of intersection of the line \(\frac{x-2}{2}=\frac{y+1}{4}=\frac{z-2}{12}\) and the plane x – y + z = 5.
Solution:
Given line is
\(\frac{x-2}{2}=\frac{y+1}{4}=\frac{z-2}{12}\) = z
Any point on (1) is (2r + 2, 4r – 1, 12r + 2).
If this point is the point of intersection of the line with the plane
x – y + z = 5
then 2r + 2 – 4r + 1 + 12r + 2 = 5
or, 10r = 0, or, r = 0
The point of intersection is (2, -1, 2).
Distance between the points (-1, -5, -10) and the point of intersection of the given line and plane.
= \(\sqrt{9+16+144}=\sqrt{169}\) = 13

(b) Find the image of the point (2, -1, 3) in the plane 3x – 2y + z – 9 = 0
Solution:

Let A = (2, -1, 3)
Let B be the image point of A with respect to the plane
3x – 2y + z – 9 = 0 … (1)
Then AB is normal to the plane.
Again let C be the point of intersection of the line with the plane (1).
Again as B is the image point of A then C must be the mid-point of AB.
Now d.rs. of AB are < 3, -2, 1 > because AB is perpendicular to the plane.
Eqn. of the line AB is

Question 11.
Prove that the lines, \(\frac{x+3}{2}=\frac{y+5}{3}=\frac{z-7}{-3}\) and \(\frac{x+1}{4}=\frac{y+1}{5}=\frac{z+1}{-1}\) are coplanar.
Find the equation of the plane containing them.
Solution:
Given lines are

Two lines are co-planar if either they are parallel or intersecting. Now the line (1) and (2) are not parallel because their d.rs. are not proportional. So we shall show that they are intersecting.
Any point on (1) is (2r₁ – 3, 3r₁ – 5, -3r₁ + 7)
Any point on (2) is (4r₂ – 1, 5r₂ – 1, -r₂ – 1)
If the lines are intersecting then for some values of r₁ and r₂.
2r₁ – 3 = 4r₂ – 1 … (3)
3r₁ – 5 = 5r₂ – 1 … (4)
-3r₁ + 7 = -r₂ – 1 … (5)
From (3) we get r₁ = \(\) = 2r₂ + 1
Putting it in (4) we get 6r₂ + 3 – 5 = 5r₂ – 1
or, r₂ = 1. Again r₁ = 3
With these values r₁ = 3, r₂ = 1
We see that eqn. (5) is satisfied. So the straight lines are intersecting. Hence they are coplanar.
The equation of the plane containing the line (1) is:
a (x + 3) + b (y + 5) + c (z – 7) = 0 … (6)
where 2a + 3b – 3c = 0 … (6)
If the plane (6) contains the line (2) then
4a + 5b – c = 0 … (8)
Solving (7) and (8) we get

Equation of the plane is
6 (x + 3) – 5 (y + 5) – 1 (z – 7) = 0
or, 6x – 5y – z = 0

Question 12.
Prove that the lines \(\frac{x+4}{3}=\frac{y+6}{5}=\frac{z-1}{-2}\) and 3x – 2y + z + 5 = 0 = 2x + 3y + 4z – 4 are co-planar.
Solution:
Given lines are
\(\frac{x+4}{3}=\frac{y+6}{5}=\frac{z-1}{-2}\) = r (say) … (1)
and 3x – 2y + z + 5 = 0
= 2x + 3y + 4z – 4 … (2)
Any point on (1) and (2) are coplanar if they are either parallel or intersecting. If the line are intersecting then
3 (3r – 4) – 2 (5r – 6) + (-2r + 1) + 5 = 0 … (3)
and 2 (3r – 4) + 3 (5r – 6) + 4 (-2r + 1) – 4 = 0 … (4) are consistent.
Solving (3) we get
9r – 12 – 10r + 12 – 2r + 1 + 5 = 0
or, -3r + 6 = 0 or, r = 2
For r = 2, eqn (4) is satisfied. Thus the lines are intersecting and hence they are co-planar. (Proved)

Question 13.
Show that the lines 7x – 4y + 7z + 16 = 0 = 4x + 3y – 2z + 3 and x – 3y + 4z + 6 = z – y + z + 1 intersect. Find the coordinates of their point of intersection and equation of the plane containing them.
Solution:
Let < l₁, m₁, n₁ > and < l₂, m₂, n₂ > be the d.cs. of the lines.
7x – 4y + 7z + 16 = 0 = 4x + 3y – 2z + 3 … (1)
and x – 3y + 4z + 6 = 0 = x – y + z + 1 … (2)
Then 7l₁ – 4m₁ + 7n₁ = 0
4l₁ + 3m₁ – 2n₁ = 0

Question 14.
Show that the line joining the points (0, 2, -4) and (-1 , 1, -2) and the lines joining the points (-2, 3, 3) and (-3, -2, 1) are co-planar. Find their point of intersection.
Solution:
The eqn. of the line joining the points (0, 2, -4) and (-1, 1, -2) is

The lines (1) and (2) are coplanar if either they are parallel or intersecting. These lines are not parallel. So we have to prove that they are intersecting.
Any point on (1) is (-r₁, -r₁ + 2, 2r₁ – 4)
Any point on (2) is (-r₂ – 2, -5r₂ + 3, -2r₂ + 3)
If two lines are intersecting then for some r₁ and r₂
-r₁ = -r₂ – 2 … (1)
-r₁ + 2 = -5r₂ + 3 … (2)
2r₁ – 4 = -2r₁ + 3 … (3)
From (3), r₁ = r₂ + 2

Question 15.
Show that the lines x – mz – a = 0 = y – nz – b and x – m’z’ – a’ = 0 = y – n’z’ – b’ intersect, if (a – a’) (n – n’) = (b – b’) (m – m’).
Solution:
Given lines are
x – mz – a = 0 = y – nz – b … (1)
and x – m’z’ – a’ = 0 = y – n’z’ – b … (2)
Putting z = 0 in (1) we get x = a and y = b.
So (a, b, 0) is a point on (1).
Again putting z = 0 in (2) we get x = a’, y = b’.
So (a’, b’, 0) is a point on (2).
Let < L₁, M₁, N₁ > and < L₂, M₂, N₂ > be the d.cs. of the lines (1) and (2).
Then L₁ – mN₁ = 0, M₁ – nN₁ = 0

or, n (a’ – a) + b (m – m’)
= n’ (a’ – a) + b (m – m’)
⇒ (a – a’) (n – n’) = (b – b’) (m – m’) (Proved)

Question 16.
Proved that the line \(\frac{x-1}{2}=\frac{y+2}{-3}=\frac{z-3}{1}\) lies on the plane 7x + 5y + z = 0
Solution:
Given line is
\(\frac{x-1}{2}=\frac{y+2}{-3}=\frac{z-3}{1}\) = r (say) … (1)
Any point on (1) is (2r + 1, -3r – 2, r + 3)
The straight line lies on the plane 7x + 5y + z = 0 … (2)
if every point of the line lies on (2).
Now 7 × (2r + 1) + 5 (-3r -2) + (r + 3)
= 14r + 7 – 15r – 10 + r + 3 = 0
Thus the point (2r + 1, -3r – 2, r + 3) lies on (2).
Hence the straight line lies on the plane. (Proved)

Question 17.
(a) Find the angle between the plane x + y + 4 = 0 and the line \(\frac{x+3}{2}=\frac{y-1}{1}=\frac{z+4}{-2}\).
Solution:

(b) Find the angle between the plane 4x + 3y + 5z – 1 = 0 and the line \(\frac{x+3}{2}=\frac{y-1}{3}=\frac{z+4}{6}\).
Solution:
Given plane and the line have equations
4x + 3y + 5z – 1 = 0 … (1)

Question 18.
(a) Find the equation of the line passing through the point (1, 0, -1) and intersecting the lines x = 2y = 2z; 3x + 4y – 1 = 0 = 4x + 5z – 2.
Solution:
Given lines are x = 2y = 2z … (1)
and 3x + 4y – 1 = 0 = 4x + 5z – 2 … (2)
Any plane containing the line (1)
i.e., x – 2y = 0 and y – z = 0 is
x – 2y + k₁ (y – z)= 0 = 0
or, x + (k₁ – 2) y – k₁z = 0
If it passes through the point (1, 0, -1) then 1 + k₁ = 0 or, k₁ = -1
The plane containing the line (1) and passing through the point (1, 0, -1) is x – 3y + z = 0
Again any plane containing the line (2) is
3x + 4y – 1 + k₂ (4x + 5z – 2) = 0
or, (3 + 4k₂) x + 4y + 5k₂z – (2k₂ + 1) = 0
If it passes through the point (1, 0, -1) then
3 + 4k₂ – 5k₂ – 2k₂ – 1 = 0
or, 3k₂ = 2 or, k₂ = \(\frac{2}{3}\)
The equation of the plane through the line (2) and passing through (1, 0, -1) is

(b) A line with direction ratios < 2, 1, 2 > meets each of the lines x = y + a = z and x + a = 2y = 2z. Find the coordinates of the points of intersection.
Solution:
Given lines are
x = y + a = z and x + a = 2y = 2z
These can be written in symmetrical form as
\(\frac{x}{1}=\frac{y+a}{1}=\frac{z}{1}\) = r₁ (say)
and \(\frac{x+a}{2}=\frac{y}{1}=\frac{z}{1}\) = r₂ (say)
Any point on (1) is (r₁, r₁ – a, r₁)
Any point on (2) is (2r₂ – a, r₂, r₂)
Suppose that the line meets the lines (1) and (2) at P and Q respectively.
Let P = (r₁, r₁ – a, r₁), Q = (2r₂ – a, r₂, r₂)
D.rs. of PQ are
< r₁ – 2r₂ + a, r₁ – r₂ – a, r₁ – r₂ >
But given that d.rs. are < 2, 1, 2 >.
So \(\frac{r_1-2 r_2+a}{2}=\frac{r_1-r_2-a}{1}=\frac{r_1-r_2}{2}\)
From the 1st two ratios we get
r₁ – 2r₂ + a = 2r₁ – 2r₂ – 2a ⇒ r₁ = 3a
From the last two ratios we get
2r₁ – 2r₂ – 2a = r₁ – r₂
⇒ r₁ = r₂ + 2a ⇒ 3a = r₂ + 2a ⇒ r₂ = a
∴ P (3a, 2a, 3a), Q = (a, a, a)
∴ The co-prdinates of the points of intersection and (3a, 2a, 3a) and (a, a, a).

Question 19.
Obtain the co-ordinates of the foot of the perpendicular drawn from the point (3, -1, 11) to the line \(\frac{x}{2}=\frac{y-2}{3}=\frac{z-3}{4}\). Obtain the equation of the perpendicular also.
Solution:

Let P be the given point (3, -1, 11).
Draw PM perpendicular from P onto the straight line.
Any point on (1) is (2λ, 3λ + 2, 4λ + 3)
Let M = (2λ, 3λ + 2, 4λ + 3)
D.rs. of PM are 2λ – 2, 3λ + 3, 4λ – 8
As PM is perpendicular to the line then
(2λ – 3) . 2 +3 (3λ + 3) + (4λ – 8) . 4 = 0
or, 4λ – 6 + 9λ + 9 + 16λ – 32 = 0
or, 29λ – 29 = 0 or, λ = 1
∴ The foot of the perpendicular is (2, 5, 7)
Equation of the perpendicular line is
\(\frac{x-3}{2-3}=\frac{y+1}{5+1}=\frac{z-11}{7-11}\)
or, \(\frac{x-3}{1}=\frac{y+1}{-6}=\frac{z-11}{4}\)

Question 20.
Find the perpendicular distance of the point (-1, 3, 9) from the line \(\frac{x-13}{5}=\frac{y+8}{-8}=\frac{z-31}{1}\).
Solution:
Let P be the point (-1, 3, 9).
Suppose that M is the foot of the perpendicular drawn from P onto the straight line.
\(\frac{x-13}{5}=\frac{y+8}{-8}=\frac{z-31}{1}\) = λ (say)
Let M = (5λ + 13, -8λ – 8, λ + 31)
D.rs. of PM are
< 5λ + 14, -8λ – 11, λ + 22 >
As PM is perpendicular to the line (1) then
5 (5λ + 14) – 8 (-8λ – 11) + λ + 22 = 0
or, 25λ + 64λ + λ + 70 + 88 + 22 = 0
or, 90λ = -180 or, λ = -2
Thus M = (3, 8, 29)
Distance PM = \(\sqrt{(3+1)^2+(8-3)^2+(29-9)^2}\)
= \(\sqrt{16+25+400}\) = \(\sqrt{441}\) = 21

Question 21.
Find the distance of the point (1, -2, 3) from the plane x – y + z = 5, measured parallel to the line \(\frac{x}{2}=\frac{y}{3}=\frac{z}{-6}\).
Solution:
Let P be the point (1, 2, 3). Draw the straight line PM parallel to the line

Question 22.
Find the distance of the point (1, -1, -10) from the line \(\frac{x-4}{1}=\frac{y+3}{-4}=\frac{z+1}{7}\) measured parallel to the line \(\frac{x+2}{2}=\frac{y-3}{-3}=\frac{z-4}{8}\).
Ans.
Let P be the point (1, -1, -10). Equation of the line through P parallel to the line

∴ Distance of the point (1, -1, -10) from the given line is √308.

Question 23.
Find the equation of plane through the point (2, 0, -3) and containing the line 3x + y + z – 5 = 0 = x – 2y + 4z + 4
Solution:
Any plane containing the line
3x + y + z – 5 = 0 = x – 2y + 4z + 4
3x + y + z – 5 + k (x – 2y + 4z + 4) = 0
or, (3 + k) x + (1 – 2k) y + (1 + 4k) z + (4k – 5) = 0 … (1)
If this plane contains the point (2, 0, -3) then
2 (3 + k)² + (1 – 2k) . 0 + (1 + 4k) . (-3) + 4k – 5 = 0
⇒ 6 + 2k – 3 – 12k + 4k – 5 = 0
⇒ -6k – 2 = 0 ⇒ k = –\(\frac{1}{3}\)
Required plane is
\(\left(3-\frac{1}{3}\right) x+\left(1+\frac{2}{3}\right) y+\left(1-\frac{4}{3}\right) z+\left(-\frac{4}{3}-5\right)\) = 0
⇒ 8x + 5y – z – 19 = 0

Question 24.
Find the equation of the plane containing the line x + 2 = 2y – 1 = 3z and parallel to the line x = 1 – 5y = 2z – 7. Also find the shortest distance between the two lines.
Solution:
Given line is x + 2 = 2y – 1 = 3z
[x – 2y + 3 = 0
2y – 3z – 1 = 0] … (1)
Any plane containing the line (1) is
(x – 2y + 3) + k (2y – 3z – 1) = 0
or, x + (2k – 2) y – 3kz + (3 – k) = 0… (2)
Again given that the plane (2) is parallel to the line
x = 1 – 5y = 2z – 7
⇒ \(\frac{x}{10}=\frac{y-\frac{1}{5}}{-2}=\frac{z-\frac{7}{2}}{5}\) … (3)
D.rs. of the line (3) are < 10, -2, 5 >
If the plane (2) is parallel to the line (3) then the normal plane (2) is perpendicular to the line (3). D.rs. of the normal of the plane(2) are
< 1, 2k – 2, -3k >.
Thus 10 – 2 (2k – 2) – 15 k = 0
⇒ 10 – 4k + 4 – 15k = 0

We have to find the shortest distance between the lines (3) and (4). The shortest distance is the line segment perpendicular to both the lines. Let < l, m, n > be the d.cs. of the shortest distance.
Then 6l + 3m + 2n = 0
10l – 2m+ 5n = 0
Solving we get

Question 25.
Find the equation of the two planes through the origin and parallel to the line \(\frac{x-1}{2}=\frac{y+3}{-1}=\frac{z+1}{-2}\) and at a distance \(\frac{5}{3}\) from it.
Solution:
Equation of the plane through the origin is ax + by + cz = 0 … (1)
If the plane (1) is parallel to the line

⇒ 9b² = 4a² + 4b² + 4c²
⇒ 4a² – 5b² + 4c² = 0 … (4)
From (3) we get b = 2a – 3c.
Putting it in (4) we get
4a² – 5 × 4 (a – c)² + 4c² = 0
⇒ a² – 5a² – 5c² + 10ac + c² = 0
⇒ -4a² – 4c² + 10ac = 0
⇒ 2a² + 2c² – 5ac = 0
⇒ 2a² + 2c² – 4ac – ac = 0
⇒ 2a (a – 2c) – c (a – 2c) = 0
⇒ (a – 2c) (2a – c) = 0

∴ The plane is x – 2y + 2z = 0
Hence the planes are
2x + 2y + z = 0 and x – 2y + 2z = 0.

Question 26.
Find the equation of the straight line perpendicular to the line \(\frac{x-2}{3}=\frac{y+1}{4}=\frac{z-6}{7}\) and lying in the plane x – 2y + 4z – 51 = 0.
Solution:
Let < l, m, n > be the d.cs. of the straight line perpendicular to the line.

D.rs. of the line is < -6, 1, 2 >.
Again let A be the point of intersection of the line with the line (1).
Let A = (3r + 2, 4r – 1, 7r + 6)
Then this point a lies also on the plane (2).
So 3r + 2 – 8r + 2 + 28r + 24 – 51 =0
or, 23r – 23 = 0 or, r = 1
∴ A = (5, 3, 13)
Hence the equation of the required line is
\(\frac{x-5}{-6}=\frac{y-3}{1}=\frac{z-13}{2}\)

Question 27.
Find the shortest distance between the lines \(\frac{x-3}{3}=\frac{y-8}{-1}=\frac{z-3}{1}\) and \(\frac{x+3}{-3}=\frac{y+7}{2}=\frac{z-6}{4}\). Find also the equation of the line of shortest distance.
Solution:
Given lines are

Any point on the line (1) and (2) are P (3 + 3α, 8 – α, 3 + α) and Q (-3 – 3β, -7 + 2β, 6 + 4β) respectively.
D.r.s. of PQ are < 6 + 3α + 3β, 15 – α – 4β >
D.r.s. of the lines are < 3, -1, 1 > and < -3, 2, 4 > respectively.
PQ is perpendicular to the given lines.
∴ 3 (6 + 3α + 3β) – (15 – α – 2β) + 1 (-3 + α – 4β) = 0
and -3 (6 + 3α + 3β) + 2 (15 – α – 2β) + 1 (-3 + α – 4β)
⇒ 18 + 9α + 9β – 15 + α + 2β – 3 + α – 4β = 0
and -18 – 9α – 9β + 30 – 2α – 4β – 12 + 4α – 16β = 0
⇒ 11a + 7b = 0
and -7a – 29b = 0
⇒ a = b = 0
co-ordinates P and Q are (3, 8, 3) and (-3, -7, 6) respectively.
The shortest distance

Question 28.
Show that the shortest distance between the lines x + a = 2y = -12z and x = y + 2a = 6z – 6a is 2a.
Solution:
Given lines are
x + a = 2y = -12z
and x = y + 2a – 6z – 6a

Question 29.
Find the length and equation of the line of shortest distance between the lines 3x – 9y + 5z = 0 = x + y – z and 6x + 8y + 3z – 13 = 0 = x + 2y + z – 3
Solution:
Given lines are
3x – 9y + 5z = 0
x + y – z = 0 … (1)
and 6x + 8y + 3z – 13 = 0
x + 2y + z – 3 = 0 … (2)
Let us consider the line (1)
Now z = x + y
∴ 3x – 9y + 5 ( x + y) = 0
⇒ 8x – 4y = 0 ⇒ 2x = y
Again y = z – x
∴ 3x – 9 (z – x) + 5z = 0
⇒ 12x – 4z = 0
⇒ 3x = z
∴ 6x = 3y = 2z

Question 3.
(a) Show that the points (3, -2, 4), (1, 1, 1) and (-1, 4, -1) are collinear.
Solution:
Let A = (3, -2, 4), B = (1, 1, 1) and C = (-1, 4, -2)
D. rs of AB are < -2, 3, -3 >
D. rs of BC are < -2, 3, -3 >
As D.rs of AB are same as d.rs of BC it follows that A, B, C lie on the same straight line.
So the points are collinear. (Proved)

(b) Show that points (0, 1, 2), (2, 5, 8), (5, 6, 6) and (3, 2, 0) form a parallelogram.
Solution:
Let A = (0, 1, 2), B = (2, 5, 8), C = (5, 6, 6), D = (3, 2, 0)

∴ BC = AD
Thus the opposite sides of the quadrilateral ABCD are equal, hence it is a parallelogram.

Question 4.
(a) Find the co-ordinates of the foot of the perpendicular from the point (1, 1, 1) on the line joining (1, 4, 6) and (5, 4, 4).
Solution:

Let P = (1, 1, 1), A = (1, 4, 6) and B = (5, 4, 4)
Let Q be the foot of the perpendicular drawn from P on AB. Suppose that Q divides AB into the ratio m:n.

⇒ 4 (4m) – 2 (3m + 5n) = 0
16m – 6m – 10n = 0
⇒ 10m 10n = 0
⇒ m = n
∴ Q = (3, 4, 5)

(b) Find the co-ordinates of the point where the perpendicular from the origin meets the line joining the points (-9, 4, 5) and (11, 0, -1).
Solution:
Let A = (-9, 4, 5) and B = (11, 0, -1)

Let OM be the perpendicular drawn onto the line segment AB. Suppose that M divides AB into the ratio m:n.
Then co-ordinates of

D.rs. of AB are < 20, -4, -6 >
As OM is perpendicular on to AB, then
20 (11m – 9n) – 4 (4n) – 6 (-m + 5n) = 0
⇒ 220m – 180n – 16n + 6m – 30n = 0
⇒ 226m – 226n = 0
⇒ m = n
∴ The ratio is \(\frac{m}{n}=\frac{1}{1}\)
∴ Co-ordinates of M are (1, 2, 2).

(c) Prove that the points P(3, 2, -4), Q (5, 4, -6) and R (9, 8, -10) are collinear.
Solution:
Given that P = (3, 2, -4), Q = (5, 4, -6), R = (9, 8, -10)
D. rs. of PQ are < 2, 2, -2 >
D. rs. of QR are < 4, 4, -4 >
i.e., < 2, 2, -2 >
Thus D.rs. of PQ and QR are same. So P, Q, R lie on the same straight line.
Hence P, Q, R are collinear. (Proved)

(d) If P (1, y, z) lies on the line through (3, 2, -1) and (-4, 6, 3) find y & z.
Solution:
Let A = (3, 2, -1), B = (-4, 6, 3)
Suppose that P (1, y, z) divides AB into the ratio m:n.

Question 5.
(a) If A, B, C, D are the points (6, 3, 2), (3, 5, 7), (2, 3, -1) and (3, 5, -3) respectively, then find the projection of \(\overline{A B} \text { on } \overleftrightarrow{CD}\).
Solution:
Given that
A = (6, 3, 2), B = (3, 5, 7), C = (2, 3, -1), D = (3, 5, -3)

(b) The projections of a line segment \(\overline{OP}\), through origin O, on the coordinate axes are 6, 2, 3. Find the length of the line segment \(\overline{OP}\) and its direction cosines.
Solution:

(c) The projections of a line segment of x, y and z-axis respectively are 12, 4, 3. Find the length and the direction cosines of the line segment.
Solution:
Let the length of the line segment be ‘r’ and suppose that it makes angles α, β, γ with the axes.
Then r cos α = 12, r cos β = 4 and r cos γ = 3

Question 6.
(a) If A, B, C are the points (1, 4, 2), (-2, 1, 2) and (2, -3, 4) respectively then find the angles of the triangle ABC.
Solution:

Given that A = (1, 4, 2), B = (-2, 1, 2) and C = (2, -3, 4)
D.r.s. of AB are < -3, -3, 0 >
D.r.s. of BC are < 4, -4, 2 >
D.r.s. of AC are < 1, -7, 2 >

(b) Find the acute angle between the lines passing through (-3, -1, 0), (2, -3, 1) and (1, 2, 3), (-1, 4, -2) respectively.
Solution:
Let A = (-3, -1, 0), B = (2, -3, 1), C = (1, 2, 3), D = (-1, 4, -2)
D.rs. of AB are < 5, -2, 1 >
D.rs. of CD are < -2, 2, -5 >

(c) Prove that measure of the angle between two main diagonals of a cube is cos^-1\(\frac{1}{3}\).
Solution:

Let OABCDEFG be a cube of side ‘a’. Choose the vertex ‘O’ as origin, the line OA as x-axis, OE as y-axis and OC as z-axis.
Then
A = (a, 0, 0), B = (a, 0, a), C = (0, 0, a), D = (0, a, a), E = (0, a, 0), F = (a, a, 0) and G = (a, a, a)
The main diagonals are OG and BE
D.rs. of OG are < a, a, a >.

(d) Prove that measure of the angle between the diagonal of a face and the diagonal of a cube, drawn from a vertex is cos^-1\(\sqrt{\frac{2}{3}}\).
Solution:
See the figure of (c)
Consider the face OABC.
Let us find the angle between AC and AD.
D.rs. of AC are < -a, 0, a >

(e) Find the angle which a diagonal of a cube makes with one of its edges.
Solution:
See the figure of (c).
Let us find the angle between the edge AB and diagonal AD.

(f) Find the angle between the lines whose dcs. l, m, n are connected by the relation, 3l + m + 5n = 0 and 6mn – 2nl + 5lm = 0
Solution:
Given that 3l + m + 5n = 0 … (1)
6mn – 2nl + 5lm = 0 … (2)
From (1) we get
n = –\(\frac{3 l+m}{5}\)
Putting it in (2) we get
(6m – 2l) . (-\(\frac{3 l+m}{5}\)) + 5lm = 0
⇒ -18lm + 6l² – 6m² + 2lm + 25lm = 0
⇒ 6l² – 6m² + 9lm = 0
⇒ 2l² – 2m² + 3lm = 0
⇒ 2l² + 4lm – lm – 2m² = 0
⇒ 2l (l + 2m) – m (1 + 2m)
⇒ (l + 2m) (2l – m) = 0
⇒ l + 2m = 0 or, 2l – m = 0

Case (i) Let l + 2m = 0

Case (ii) Let 2l – m = 0

Question 7.
Show that measures of the angles between the four diagonals, of a rectangular paralle-lopiped whose edges are a, b, c are cos^-1\(\left(\frac{a^2 \pm b^2 \pm c^2}{a^2+b^2+c^2}\right)\).
Solution:

Let OABCDEFG be a rectangular parallelopiped whose edges are a, b, c.
Choose O as origin, OA as x-axis, OE as y-axis and OC as z-axis.
Then A = (a, 0, 0), B = (a, 0, c), C = (0, 0, c), D = (0, b, c), E = (0, b, 0), F = (a, b, 0), G = (a, b, c)
The four diagonals are OG, EB, AD and CF.
D. rs. of OG are < a, b, c >
D. rs. of EB are < a, -b, c >
D. rs. of AD are < -a, b, c >
D. rs. of CF are < a, b, -c >
Angle between OG and EB.

Similarly find the angles between the other diagonals. Thus the angles between the four diagonals are cos^-1\(\left(\frac{a^2 \pm b^2 \pm c^2}{a^2+b^2+c^2}\right)\).

Question 8.
If l₁, m₁, n₁ and l₂, m₂, n₂ are the direction cosines of two mutually perpendicular lines show that the d.cs. of the line perpendicular to both of them are m₁n₂ – n₁m₂, n₁l₂ – l₁n₂, l₁m₂ – m₁l₂
Solution:
Let < l₁, m₁, n₁ > and < l₂, m₂, n₂ > be the d.cs. of two mutually perpendicular straight lines.
Then l₁l₂ + m₁m₂ + n₁n₂ = 0 … (1)
Let < l, m, n > be the d.cs. of the straight line perpendicular to the above lines.
Then ll₁ + mm₁ + nn₁ = 0 … (2)
ll₂ + mm₂ + nn₂ = 0 … (3)
Solving (2) and (3) for l, m, n we get

Odisha State Board CHSE Odisha Class 12 Alternative English Solutions Grammar Prepositions Exercise Questions and Answers.

CHSE Odisha Class 12 Alternative English Grammar Prepositions

A. Preposition
Definition:
A preposition is a world that is put before a noun or pronoun in order to show more relation between them.

Example:
1. The lamp is on the table
Here, the preposition ‘on’ shows the relation of the noun (the lamp) with another noun (the table)
2. She fell into the well.
Here, the preposition ‘into’ shows the relation of the pronoun (she) with the noun (well).
3. Akash gives respect to me.
Here, the preposition ‘to’ shows the relation of the noun (Akash) with the pronoun (me).
4. She is hot under me.
Here, the preposition ‘under’ shows the relation of the pronoun (she) with another pronoun (me).

Kinds Of Prepositions

Prepositions can be classified as the following five types: such as:

1.  Simple prepositions: as
   At, after, by, to, in, up, with, over, etc.
2. Compound prepositions: as
   about, across, against, before, beside, into, until, within, etc.
3. Participle prepositions: as
   Accepting, during, etc.
4. Phrasal prepositions: as
   Along with, by virtue of instead of on account of by way of on behalf of according to, etc.
5. Double prepositions: as
   from among, from beneath, from under, out of, etc.

Usage Of Prepositions

Prepositions are generally used before a noun phrase. But sometimes, they are used at the end of a sentence.
Example:
A. Before the noun phrase:

• Don’t sit on that broken chair.
• That by writes with his left hand.

B. At the end of a sentence:

• Used in a wh-question sentence.
  (i) What is that animal like?
  (ii) What are you looking for?
• Used in a sentence with a relative clause.
  (i) Is this the book you were looking for?
  (ii) I know the may you are talking about

PREPOSITION OF POSITION

Use of ‘AT’
‘At’ is used in
(a) Public places:
Examples:

When it refers to an open place, ‘on’ is used instead of ‘in’.
Examples:
1. My father works on a firm.
2. Siba works on the railway.
3. Ajit works on a tea plantation.

In the case of indefinite office, ‘in’ is used, as
Examples:

1. Use of ‘to’ and ‘at’:
Examples:
1. The boy went to the blackboard.
2. He stood at the blackboard.
3. He threw the ball at me.
At is used for both position and movement, but ‘to’ is used for only movement.

2. Use of ‘above’ and ‘over’
Examples:
1. The clock is over/above the door.
2. There is a temple above my house.
3. A kite is flying over our house (Not above)
Hence, over is used for both position and movement, but above is used only for the position.

3. Use of ‘below’ and ‘under’:
Examples:
1. I stood at the door under/below the clock.
2. The children are playing under the tree. (Not below)
