Step-by-Step Verified Solution

Given two lines:

x−x1a1=y−y1b1=z−z1c1\frac{x - x_1}{a_1} = \frac{y - y_1}{b_1} = \frac{z - z_1}{c_1}

and

x−x2a2=y−y2b2=z−z2c2\frac{x - x_2}{a_2} = \frac{y - y_2}{b_2} = \frac{z - z_2}{c_2}

These lines are coplanar if the determinant of the matrix

∣x2−x1amp;y2−y1amp;z2−z1a1amp;b1amp;c1a2amp;b2amp;c2∣\begin{vmatrix}x_2-x_1 & y_2-y_1 & z_2-z_1 \\a_1 & b_1 & c_1 \\a_2 & b_2 & c_2\end{vmatrix} = 0

Now let's apply this condition to the given problem. The given line is :

x+3−3=y−11=z−55\frac{x + 3}{-3} = \frac{y - 1}{1} = \frac{z - 5}{5}

So, the coordinates of any point on this line are (−3,1,5)(-3, 1, 5) and the direction ratios are (−3,1,5)(-3, 1, 5) .

Now, let's calculate the determinants for each option and check which one equals zero.

For Option A :

x+1−1=y−22=z−54\frac{x + 1}{-1} = \frac{y - 2}{2} = \frac{z - 5}{4}

The coordinates of any point on this line are (−1,2,5)(-1, 2, 5) and the direction ratios are (−1,2,4)(-1, 2, 4) .

The determinant is :

∣−1−(−3)amp;2−1amp;5−5−3amp;1amp;5−1amp;2amp;4∣=∣2amp;1amp;0−3amp;1amp;5−1amp;2amp;4∣\begin{vmatrix}-1 - (-3) & 2 - 1 & 5 - 5 \\-3 & 1 & 5 \\-1 & 2 & 4\end{vmatrix}=\begin{vmatrix}2 & 1 & 0 \\-3 & 1 & 5 \\-1 & 2 & 4\end{vmatrix}

Applying the formula :

= 2(1×4−5×2)−1((−3×4)−(5×−1))+0((−3×2)−(1×−1))2(1 \times 4 - 5\times2) - 1((-3\times4) - (5\times-1)) + 0((-3\times2) - (1\times-1))

= 2(4−10)−1(−12−(−5))+0(−6−(−1))2(4 - 10) - 1(-12 - (-5)) + 0(-6 - (-1))

= 2(−6)−1(−7)+0(−5)2(-6) - 1(-7) + 0(-5)

= −12+7+0-12 + 7 + 0

= −5-5

The determinant for Option A is not equal to zero, so this line is not coplanar with the given line.

For Option B, we have :

x+1−1=y−22=z−55\frac{x + 1}{-1} = \frac{y - 2}{2} = \frac{z - 5}{5}

The coordinates of any point on this line are (−1,2,5)(-1, 2, 5) and the direction ratios are (−1,2,5)(-1, 2, 5) .

∣−1−(−3)amp;2−1amp;5−5−3amp;1amp;5−1amp;2amp;5∣=∣2amp;1amp;0−3amp;1amp;5−1amp;2amp;5∣\begin{vmatrix}-1 - (-3) & 2 - 1 & 5 - 5 \\-3 & 1 & 5 \\-1 & 2 & 5\end{vmatrix}=\begin{vmatrix}2 & 1 & 0 \\-3 & 1 & 5 \\-1 & 2 & 5\end{vmatrix}

Applying the formula, we get :

= 2(1∗5−5∗2)−1((−3∗5)−(5∗−1))+0((−3∗2)−(1∗−1))2(1*5 - 5*2) - 1((-3*5) - (5*-1)) + 0((-3*2) - (1*-1))

= 2(5−10)−1(−15−(−5))+0(−6−(−1))2(5 - 10) - 1(-15 - (-5)) + 0(-6 - (-1))

= 2(−5)−1(−10)+0(−5)2(-5) - 1(-10) + 0(-5)

= −10+10+0-10 + 10 + 0

= 00

So, the determinant for Option B equals zero, which confirms that the line in Option B is coplanar with the given line.

For Option C :

x−1−1=y−22=z−55\frac{x - 1}{-1} = \frac{y - 2}{2} = \frac{z - 5}{5}

The coordinates of any point on this line are (1,2,5)(1, 2, 5) and the direction ratios are (−1,2,5)(-1, 2, 5) .

The determinant is:

∣1−(−3)amp;2−1amp;5−5−3amp;1amp;5−1amp;2amp;5∣=∣4amp;1amp;0−3amp;1amp;5−1amp;2amp;5∣\begin{vmatrix}1 - (-3) & 2 - 1 & 5 - 5 \\-3 & 1 & 5 \\-1 & 2 & 5\end{vmatrix}=\begin{vmatrix}4 & 1 & 0 \\-3 & 1 & 5 \\-1 & 2 & 5\end{vmatrix}

Applying the formula :

= 4(1∗5−5∗2)−1((−3∗5)−(5∗−1))+0((−3∗2)−(1∗−1))4(1*5 - 5*2) - 1((-3*5) - (5*-1)) + 0((-3*2) - (1*-1))

= 4(5−10)−1(−15−(−5))+0(−6−(−1))4(5 - 10) - 1(-15 - (-5)) + 0(-6 - (-1))

= 4(−5)−1(−10)+0(−5)4(-5) - 1(-10) + 0(-5)

= −20+10+0-20 + 10 + 0

= −10-10

The determinant for Option C is not equal to zero, so this line is not coplanar with the given line.

For Option D :

x+11=y−22=z−55\frac{x + 1}{1} = \frac{y - 2}{2} = \frac{z - 5}{5}

The coordinates of any point on this line are (−1,2,5)(-1, 2, 5) and the direction ratios are (1,2,5)(1, 2, 5) .

The determinant is :

∣−1−(−3)amp;2−1amp;5−5−3amp;1amp;51amp;2amp;5∣=∣2amp;1amp;0−3amp;1amp;51amp;2amp;5∣\begin{vmatrix}-1 - (-3) & 2 - 1 & 5 - 5 \\-3 & 1 & 5 \\1 & 2 & 5\end{vmatrix}=\begin{vmatrix}2 & 1 & 0 \\-3 & 1 & 5 \\1 & 2 & 5\end{vmatrix}

Applying the formula :

= 2(1∗5−5∗2)−1((−3∗5)−(5∗1))+0((−3∗2)−(1∗1))2(1*5 - 5*2) - 1((-3*5) - (5*1)) + 0((-3*2) - (1*1))

= 2(5−10)−1(−15−5)+0(−6−1)2(5 - 10) - 1(-15 - 5) + 0(-6 - 1)

= 2(−5)−1(−20)+0(−7)2(-5) - 1(-20) + 0(-7)

= −10+20+0-10 + 20 + 0

= 1010

So the determinant for Option D is not equal to zero, which means the line in Option D is not coplanar with the given line.
