Perpendiculars are drawn from points on the line $\frac{x+2}{2}=\frac{y+1}{-1}=\frac{z}{3}$ to the plane $x+y+z=3$. The feet of the perpendiculars lie on the line:

  • A
    $\frac{x}{5}=\frac{y-1}{8}=\frac{z-2}{-13}$
  • B
    $\frac{x}{2}=\frac{y-1}{3}=\frac{z-2}{-5}$
  • C
    $\frac{x}{4}=\frac{y-1}{3}=\frac{z-2}{-7}$
  • D
    $\frac{x}{2}=\frac{y-1}{-7}=\frac{z-2}{5}$

The angle between the line $\vec{r} = (\hat{i} + \hat{j} - 2\hat{k}) + \lambda (2\hat{i} - \hat{j} + \hat{k})$ and the normal to the plane $\vec{r} \cdot (\hat{i} + \hat{j} + 3\hat{k}) = 2$ is:

If the plane $2x + y - 5z = 0$ is rotated about its line of intersection with the plane $3x - y + 4z - 7 = 0$ by an angle of $\frac{\pi}{2}$,then the plane after the rotation passes through the point

The equation of the plane passing through the line $\frac{x-1}{2} = \frac{y+1}{-1} = \frac{z-3}{4}$ and perpendicular to the plane $x+2y+z=12$ is given by $ax+by+cz+4=0$. Then:

Let the plane containing the line of intersection of the planes $P_1: x+(\lambda+4)y+z=1$ and $P_2: 2x+y+z=2$ pass through the points $(0,1,0)$ and $(1,0,1)$. Then the distance of the point $(2\lambda, \lambda, -\lambda)$ from the plane $P_2$ is (in $\sqrt{6}$)

Show that the lines $\frac{x+3}{-3}=\frac{y-1}{1}=\frac{z-5}{5}$ and $\frac{x+1}{-1}=\frac{y-2}{2}=\frac{z-5}{5}$ are coplanar.
