Practicing Success
If equation of a sphere is 2(x2 + y2 + z2) – 4x – 8y + 12z – 7 = 0 and one extremity of its diameter is (2, –1, 1), then the other extremity of diameter of the sphere will be |
(2, 9, –13) (0, 9, 7) (0, 5, 7) (2, 5, –13) |
(0, 5, 7) |
The centre of the sphere is (1, 2, –3) so if other extremity of diameter is (x1, y1, z1), then $\frac{x_1+2}{2}=1, \frac{y_1-1}{2}=2, \frac{z_1+1}{2}=-3$ ∴ Required point is (0, 5, 7). Hence (3) is the correct answer. |
