JEE Main 2024 (Online) 27th January Evening Shift Mathematics - 3D Geometry Question 51 English Explanation

amp;M(λ,1+2λ,2+3λ)amp;PM→=(λ−1)i^+(1+2λ)j^+(3λ−5)k^\begin{aligned}& \mathrm{M}(\lambda, 1+2 \lambda, 2+3 \lambda) \\& \overrightarrow{\mathrm{PM}}=(\lambda-1) \hat{\mathrm{i}}+(1+2 \lambda) \hat{\mathrm{j}}+(3 \lambda-5) \hat{\mathrm{k}}\end{aligned}

PM→\overrightarrow{\mathrm{PM}} is perpendicular to line L1\mathrm{L}_1

amp;PM→b→=0(b→=i^+2j^+3k^)amp;⇒λ−1+4λ+2+9λ−15=0amp;14λ=14⇒λ=1amp;∴M=(1,3,5)amp;Q→=2M→−P→[M is midpoint of P→&Q→]\begin{aligned}& \overrightarrow{\mathrm{PM}} \overrightarrow{\mathrm{b}}=0 \quad(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{b}}=\hat{\mathrm{i}}+2 \hat{\mathrm{j}}+3 \hat{\mathrm{k}}) \\& \Rightarrow \lambda-1+4 \lambda+2+9 \lambda-15=0 \\& 14 \lambda=14 \Rightarrow \lambda=1 \\& \therefore \mathrm{M}=(1,3,5) \\& \overrightarrow{\mathrm{Q}}=2 \overrightarrow{\mathrm{M}}-\overrightarrow{\mathrm{P}}[\mathrm{M} \text { is midpoint of } \overrightarrow{\mathrm{P}} \& \overrightarrow{\mathrm{Q}}]\end{aligned}

amp;Q→=2i^+6j^+10k^−i^−7k^amp;Q→=i^+6j^+3k^amp;∴(α,β,γ)=(1,6,3)\begin{aligned}& \overrightarrow{\mathrm{Q}}=2 \hat{\mathrm{i}}+6 \hat{\mathrm{j}}+10 \hat{\mathrm{k}}-\hat{\mathrm{i}}-7 \hat{\mathrm{k}} \\& \overrightarrow{\mathrm{Q}}=\hat{\mathrm{i}}+6 \hat{\mathrm{j}}+3 \hat{\mathrm{k}} \\& \therefore(\alpha, \beta, \gamma)=(1,6,3)\end{aligned}

Required line having direction cosine (l, m,n)(l, \mathrm{~m}, \mathrm{n})

amp;l2+m2+n2=1amp;⇒l2+(−12)2+(−12)2=1\begin{aligned}& l^2+m^2+n^2=1 \\& \Rightarrow l^2+\left(-\frac{1}{2}\right)^2+\left(-\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\right)^2=1\end{aligned}

l2=14l^2=\frac{1}{4}

∴l=12\therefore l=\frac{1}{2} [Line make acute angle with x\mathrm{x} -axis]

Equation of line passing through (1,6,3)(1,6,3) will be

r→=(i^+6j^+3k^)+μ(12i^−12j^−12k^)\overrightarrow{\mathrm{r}}=(\hat{\mathrm{i}}+6 \hat{\mathrm{j}}+3 \hat{\mathrm{k}})+\mu\left(\frac{1}{2} \hat{\mathrm{i}}-\frac{1}{2} \hat{\mathrm{j}}-\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \hat{\mathrm{k}}\right)

Option (3) satisfying for μ=4\mu=4
