Mathematics Question on Three Dimensional Geometry
The point of intersection C of the plane 8x+y+2z=0 and the line joining the points A(−3,−6,1) and B(2,4,−3) divides the line segment AB internally in the ratio k:1 If a,b,c(∣a∣,∣b∣, ∣c∣ are coprime) are the direction ratios of the perpendicular from the point C on the line 11−x=2y+4=3z+2, then ∣a+b+c∣ is equal to ___
Answer
The correct answer is 10.
Plane : 8x+y+2z=0
Given line AB:5x−2=10y−4=−4z+3=λ
Any point on line (5λ+2,10λ+4,−4λ−3)
Point of intersection of line and plane 8(5λ+2)+10λ+4−8λ−6=0
λ=−31
C(31,32,−35)
L:−1x−1=2y+4=3z+2=μ
CD=(−μ+32)i^+(2μ−314)j^+(3μ−31)k^
(−μ+32)(−1)+(2μ−314)2+(3μ−31)3=0
μ=1411
CD=42−5,42−130,4285
Direction ratios →(−1,−26,17)
la+b+cl=10
