A value of $p$ for which the points $(1,1, p)$ and $(-3,0,1)$ are equidistance from the plane $\vec{r} . (3 \hat{i}+4 \hat{j}-12 \hat{k})+13=0$ is : |
$p=1$ $p=\frac{2}{3}$ $p=2$ $p=\frac{1}{3}$ |
$p=1$ |
Points → A(1, 1, p) and B(-3, 0, 1) so equation of plane $\vec{r} . (3 \hat{i}+4 \hat{j}-12 \hat{k})+13=0$ let $\vec{r} = (x\hat{i}+y \hat{j} + z \hat{k})0$ ⇒ plane is 3x + 4y - 12z + 13 = 0 → equation of a plane distance of point a so $d_a=\frac{|3(1)+4(1)-12(p)+13|}{\sqrt{3^2+4^2+(-12)^2}}$ $d_b=\frac{|3(-3)+4(0)-12(1)+13|}{\sqrt{3^2+4^2+(-12)^2}}$ since distance of a point (x0, y0, z0) from plane is $\frac{|ax_0+by_0+cz_0+d|}{\sqrt{a^2+b^2+c^2}}$ if (ax + by + cz + d = 0) is equation of plane da = db $\Rightarrow \frac{|3(1)+4(1)-12(p)+13|}{\sqrt{4^2+3^2+(-12)^2}} = \frac{|3(-3)+4(0)-12(1)+13|}{\sqrt{4^2+3^2+(-12)^2}}$ $\Rightarrow |3+4-12 p+13|=|-q-12+13|$ $|20-12 p|=|-8|$ $\Rightarrow 4|5-3 p|=4|-2|$ $\Rightarrow|5-3 p|=2$ $\Rightarrow 5-3 p= \pm 2$ so $3 p=5 \pm 2$ $p=\frac{5 \pm 2}{3}$ $p=1, \frac{7}{3}$ |
