QJEEAdv15Ma1fd4: JEE Advanced 2015 Mathematics - Class 12 JEEAdv15Ma1fd4 Solution: In consider the planes and Let be the plane, different from and …

In R3,{R^3}, consider the planes  P1:y=0\,{P_1}:y = 0 and P2:x+z=1.{P_2}:x + z = 1. Let P3{P_3} be the plane, different from P1{P_1} and P2{P_2} , which passes through the intersection of P1{P_1} and P2.{P_2}. If the distance of the point (0,1,0)(0,1, 0) from P3{P_3} is 11 and the distance of a point (α,β,γ)\left( {\alpha ,\beta ,\gamma } \right) from P3{P_3} is 2,2, then which of the following relations is (are) true?

Multiple Choice Options

  • A 2α+β+2γ+2=02\alpha + \beta + 2\gamma + 2 = 0
  • B 2α−β+2γ+4=02\alpha - \beta + 2\gamma + 4 = 0
  • C 2α+β−2γ−10=02\alpha + \beta - 2\gamma - 10 = 0
  • D 2α−β+2γ−8=02\alpha - \beta + 2\gamma - 8 = 0

Step-by-Step Verified Solution

amp; Given, P1:y=0... (i)amp;P2:x+z−1=0... (ii)\begin{aligned}& \text { Given, } \mathrm{P}_1: y=0 \quad \text{... (i)}\\& \mathrm{P}_2: x+z-1=0 \quad \text{... (ii)}\end{aligned}

Equation of plane P3P_3 passing through the intersection of plane P1P_1 and P2P_2 is given by

P3:x+z−1+λy=0... (iii)\mathrm{P}_3: x+z-1+\lambda y=0 \quad \text{... (iii)}

∵\because Distance of the point (0,1,0)(0,1,0) from P3P_3 is 1.

amp;∴∣0+λ+0−112+λ2+12∣=1amp;⇒∣λ−12+λ2∣=1amp;⇒(λ−1)2=1(2+λ2)2amp;⇒λ2+1−2λ=λ2+2amp;⇒λ=−12\begin{aligned}& \therefore \quad\left|\frac{0+\lambda+0-1}{\sqrt{1^2+\lambda^2+1^2}}\right|=1 \\& \Rightarrow \quad\left|\frac{\lambda-1}{\sqrt{2+\lambda^2}}\right|=1 \\& \Rightarrow \quad(\lambda-1)^2=1\left(\sqrt{2+\lambda^2}\right)^2 \\& \Rightarrow \quad \lambda^2+1-2 \lambda=\lambda^2+2 \\& \Rightarrow \quad \lambda=-\frac{1}{2} \\\end{aligned}

Put the value of λ\lambda in equation (iii), we get

amp;P3:x+z−1−12y=0amp;⇒2x−y+2z−2=0\begin{aligned}& \mathrm{P}_3: \quad x+z-1-\frac{1}{2} y=0 \\& \Rightarrow \quad 2 x-y+2 z-2=0\end{aligned}

∵\because Distance of a point (α,β,γ)(\alpha, \beta, \gamma) from P3\mathrm{P}_3 is 2

∴amp;∣2α−β+2γ−222+12+22∣=2⇒amp;∣2α−β+2γ−23∣=2⇒amp;2α−β+2γ−2=±6⇒amp;2α−β+2γ=8 or −4⇒amp;2α−β+2γ−8=0 or 2α−β+2γ+4=0\begin{array}{ll}\therefore & \left|\frac{2 \alpha-\beta+2 \gamma-2}{\sqrt{2^2+1^2+2^2}}\right|=2 \\\Rightarrow & \left|\frac{2 \alpha-\beta+2 \gamma-2}{3}\right|=2 \\\Rightarrow & 2 \alpha-\beta+2 \gamma-2= \pm 6 \\\Rightarrow & 2 \alpha-\beta+2 \gamma=8 \text { or }-4 \\\Rightarrow & 2 \alpha-\beta+2 \gamma-8=0 \text { or } 2 \alpha-\beta+2 \gamma+4=0\end{array}

Hint :

(i) Equation of plane passing through the intersection of two plane P1P_1 and P2P_2 is given by P1+λP2=0\mathrm{P}_1+\lambda \mathrm{P}_2=0 ; where λ\lambda is a constant.

(ii) Distance of a point (x1y1z1)\left(x_1 y_1 z_1\right) from plane ax+by+cz+d=0a x +b y+c z+d=0 is ∣ax1+by1+cz1+da2+b2+c2∣\left|\frac{a x_1+b y_1+c z_1+d}{\sqrt{a^2+b^2+c^2}}\right|
