Q1. Determine the points in the x y plane which is equidistant from these point A (2,0,3), B(0,3,2), and C(0,0,1)
Ans: Since the z coordinate in the XY plane is zero. So, let P(x, y, 0) be a point in the xy- plane, such that PA=PB=PC. Now, PA=PB
PA2 = PB2
⇒(x−2)2+(y−0)2+(0−3)2=(x−0)2+(y−3)2+(0−2)2
2x−3y=0…..(i)
PB=PC
⇒PB2=PC2
⇒(x−0)2+(y−3)2+(0−2)2=(x−0)2+(y−0)2+(0−1)2T
⇒−6y+12=0⇒y=2……..(ii)
Put y=2 in (i) we get x=3
Hence the points required are (3,2,0).
Q2. If P and Qbe the points (3.4,5) and (−1,3,7) respectively. Find the equation of the set points A such that AP2+AQ2=K2 where K is a constant.
Ans: Let coordinates of point P be(x,y,z)
AP2=(x−3)2+(y−4)2+(z−5)2
=x2−6x+9+y2−8y+16+z2−10z+25
=x2+y2+z2−6x−8y−10z+50
AQ2=(x+1)2+(y−3)2+(z−7)2
=x2+2x+1+y2−6y+9+z2−14+49
=x2+y2+z2+2x−6y−14z+59
AP2+AQ2=K2
2(x2+y2+z2)−4x−14y−24z+109=K2
x2+y2+z2−2x−7y−12z= k2 – 1092

Q1. If P and Q are the points (−2,2,3) and (−1,4,−3) respectively, then find the locus of A such that 3|AP|=2|AQ|.
Ans: The given points P(−2,2,3) and Q(−1,4,−3)
Suppose the coordinates of point A(x,y,z)
|AP|= (x+2)2 (y-2)2 (2-3)2
|AP|= x2+ y2+ z2 +4x−4y−6z+17
|AQ|= (x+1)2 (y-4)2 (z+3)2
|AQ|= x2+ y2+ z2 +2x−8y−6z+26
9AP2=4AQ2
9(x2+y2+z2+4x−4y−6z+17)=4(x2+y2+z2+2x−8y+6z+26)
(5×2+5y2+5z2+28x−4y−30z+49=0)
Q2. Show that the plane px+qy+rz+s=0 divides the line joining the points (x1,y1,z1) and (x2,y2,z2) in the ratio px1 + qy1+ rz1+spx2+ qy2+ rz2+s
Ans: Let the plane px+qy+rz+s=0 divide the line joining the points (x1,y1,z1) and(x2,y2,z2) in the ratio λ=1.
∴x=2×2 + x1λ+1 = y = λy2+y1λ+1 = z= λz2+z1λ + 1
∵ Plane px+qy+rz+s=0 Passing through (x0y,z)
p (λx2+x1)λ+1 + q (λy2+y1)λ+1 + r (λz2+z1)2+1 + s = 0
p(λx2+x1)+q(λy2+y1)+r(λz2+z1)+s(λ+1)=0
λ(px2+qy2+rz2+s)+(px1+qy1+rz1+s)=0
λ=− (px1+qy1+rz1+s)(px2+qy2+rz2+s)
Hence proved.
Q.1 If A(2, 2, 3) and B(13,3,13) are two points, the equation of set of points P such that 3PA = 2PB is
Marks:1
Ans
Let the co-ordinates of point P be (x, y, z).
Now, PA = {(x + 2)2+ (y – 2)2 + (z – 3)2}.
PA2 = (x + 2)2 + (y – 2)2 + (z – 3)2
PB = {(x – 13)2+ (y + 3)2 + (z – 13)2}
PB2 = (x – 13)2 + (y + 3)2 + (z – 13)2
Therefore, from the given condition,
3PA = 2PB 9PA2 = 4PB2
9[(x + 2)2 + (y – 2)2 +(z – 3)2] = 4[(x – 13)2 + (y + 3)2 +(z – 13)2]
On solving this equation we get,
5(x2 + y2 + z2) +140x – 60y – 50z – 1235 = 0.
Q.2 By using distance formula, prove that the three points ( – 4,6,10), (2,4,6) and (14, 0, – 2) are collinear.
Marks:4
Ans
Let points A(4,6,10), B(2,4,6) and C(14,0,2) are given. AB=(2+4)2+(46)2+(610)2=36+4+16=56=214 BC=(142)2+(04)2(26)2 =144+16+64=224=414 AC=(14+4)2+(06)2+(210)2=324+36+144=504=614 AB+BC=214+414=614= AC Thus, AtB and C are collinear.
Q.3 Find the ratio in which the line segment joining the points (4, 8, 10) and (6, 10, -8) is divided by the XZ-plane.
Marks:2
Ans
LetXZ-planedividesthesegmentjoiningA(4,8,10)andB(6,10,8) atP(x,y,z)in the ratiok:1.Then the coordinates of Pare1(4)+k(6)k+1,1(8)+k(10)k+1,1(10)k(8)k+14+6kk+1,8+10kk+1,108kk+1Since,
PliesonXZ-planeSo,itsY-coordinateiszero,i.e.,8+10kk+1=08+10k=010k=8k=810k=45Therefore, XZ-plane divides AB externallyin the ratio4:5.
Q.4 Name the octants in which the following points lie: (7,4,3) and (5,-3,2).
Points (7,4,3) and (5,-3,2) lie in V and VII Octants respectively.
Marks:1
Ans
Points (7,4,3) and (5,-3,2) lie in V and VII Octants respectively.
Q.5 Find the point in XY-plane which is equidistant from three points A(2,0,3), B(0,3,2) and C(0,0,1).
Marks:4
Ans
The z-coordinate = 0 on xy-plane.
Let P (x, y, 0) be a point on xy-plane such that PA = PB = PC
Now, PA = PB
PA2 = PB2 (x 2)2 + (y0)2 + (03)2 = (x0)2 + (y 3)2 + (02)2
4x6y = 0 or 2x 3y = 0 …(1)
PB = PC
PB2 = PC2
(x 0)2 + (y3)2 + (0 2)2 = (x 0)2 + (y0)2 + (01)2 6y + 12 = 0 or y = 2 …(2)
By (1), we get x = 3
Hence, the required point is (3, 2, 0).
