Let A(x,y,z)\mathrm{A}(x, y, z) be a point in xyx y -plane, which is equidistant from three points (0,3,2),(2,0,3)(0,3,2),(2,0,3) and (0,0,1)(0,0,1) .

Let B=(1,4,−1)\mathrm{B}=(1,4,-1) and C=(2,0,−2)\mathrm{C}=(2,0,-2) . Then among the statements

(S1) : △ABC\triangle \mathrm{ABC} is an isosceles right angled triangle, and

(S2) : the area of △ABC\triangle \mathrm{ABC} is 922\frac{9 \sqrt{2}}{2} ,

Multiple Choice Options

  • A both are false
  • B only (S2) is true
  • C only (S1) is true
  • D both are true

Step-by-Step Verified Solution

amp;A(x,y,z) Let P(0,3,2),Q(2,0,3),R(0,0,1)amp;AP=AQ=ARamp;x2+(y−3)2+(z−2)2=(x−2)2+y2+(z−3)2=x2+amp;y2+(z−1)2\begin{aligned}& A(x, y, z) \text { Let } P(0,3,2), Q(2,0,3), R(0,0,1) \\& A P=A Q=A R \\& x^2+(y-3)^2+(z-2)^2=(x-2)^2+y^2+(z-3)^2=x^2+ \\& y^2+(z-1)^2\end{aligned}

In xy plane z=0\mathrm{z}=0

So, x2−4x+4+y2+9=x2+y2+1x^2-4 x+4+y^2+9=x^2+y^2+1

amp;⇒y=2amp;x=3amp;9+y2−6y+9+4=x2+y2+1\begin{aligned}& \Rightarrow y=2 \\& x=3 \\& 9+y^2-6 y+9+4=x^2+y^2+1\end{aligned}

So, A(3,2,0)A(3,2,0) also B(1,4,−1)&C(2,0,−2)B(1,4,-1) \& C(2,0,-2)

Now AB=4+4+1=3A B=\sqrt{4+4+1}=3

amp;amp;AC=1+4+4=3amp;BC=1+16+1=18amp;AB=ACamp; isosceles Δ&AB2+AC2=BC2amp; right angle Δamp; Area of △ABC=12× base.height amp;12×3×3=92amp; So only S1 is true \begin{aligned}&\begin{aligned}& \mathrm{AC}=\sqrt{1+4+4}=3 \\& \mathrm{BC}=\sqrt{1+16+1}=\sqrt{18} \\& \mathrm{AB}=\mathrm{AC} \\& \text { isosceles } \Delta \& \mathrm{AB}^2+\mathrm{AC}^2=\mathrm{BC}^2 \\& \text { right angle } \Delta \\& \text { Area of } \triangle \mathrm{ABC}=\frac{1}{2} \times \text { base.height } \\& \frac{1}{2} \times 3 \times 3=\frac{9}{2}\end{aligned}\\&\text { So only } S_1 \text { is true }\end{aligned}
