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

A perpendicular is drawn from a point on the line \(\frac{{x - 1}}{2} = \frac{{y + 1}}{{ - 1}} = \frac{z}{1}\) to the plane \(x + y + z =  3\) such that the foot of the perpendicular \(Q\) also lies on the plane \(x -y + z = 3.\) Then the co-ordinates of \(Q\) are

  1. A \((2, 0, 1)\)
  2. B \((-1, 0, 4)\)
  3. C \((1, 0, 2)\)
  4. D \((4, 0, -1)\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \((2, 0, 1)\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Let point \(P\) on the line is \((2 \lambda+1-\lambda-1, \lambda)\) foot of perpendicular \(Q\) is given by \(\frac{x-2 \lambda-1}{1}=\frac{y+\lambda+1}{1}=\frac{z-\lambda}{1}=\frac{-(2 \lambda-3)}{3}\) \(\because\) \(Q\) lies on \(x+y+z=3\) and \(x-y+z=3\) \(\Rightarrow x+z=3\)…
