JEE Mains · Maths · STD 12 - 11. three dimension geometry

A line with direction ratios \(1, -1, 2\) intersects the lines \(\dfrac{x}{2} = \dfrac{y}{3} = \dfrac{z+1}{3}\) and \(\dfrac{x+1}{-1} = \dfrac{y-2}{1} = \dfrac{z}{4}\) at the points \(P\) and \(Q\), respectively. If the length of the line segment \(PQ\) is \(\alpha\), then \(225\alpha^2\) is equal to:

  1. A \(1024\)
  2. B \(1014\)
  3. C \(1104\)
  4. D \(1204\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(1014\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Let the coordinates of \(P\) on the first line be \((2\lambda, 3\lambda, 3\lambda - 1)\). Let the coordinates of \(Q\) on the second line be \((-\mu - 1, \mu + 2, 4\mu)\). The direction ratios of the line segment \(PQ\) are proportional to \(1, -1, 2\). Thus, we can write:…
