If \(\mathrm{P}(3,2,6), \mathrm{Q}(1,4,5)\) and \(\mathrm{R}(3,5,3)\) are the vertices of \(\Delta \mathrm{PQR}\), then \(\mathrm{m} \angle \mathrm{PQR}\) is

  1. A \(90^{\circ}\)
  2. B \(50^{\circ}\)
  3. C \(70^{\circ}\)
  4. D \(30^{\circ}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(90^{\circ}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

We have \(P \equiv(3,2,6) ; Q \equiv(1,4,5)\) and \(R \equiv(3,5,3)\)
d.r. of \(\mathrm{PQ}\) are \(-2,2,-1\) and d.r. of \(\mathrm{QR}\) are \(2,1,-2\)
We find that : \((-2)(2)+2(1)+(-1)(-2)=-4+2+2=0\)
\(\therefore \mathrm{PQ} \perp \mathrm{QR} \Rightarrow \mathrm{m} \angle \mathrm{PQR}=90^{\circ}\)
