Question

If $\hat{\text{i}}+\hat{\text{j}}+\hat{\text{k}},\ 2\hat{\text{i}}+5\hat{\text{j}},\ 3\hat{\text{i}}+2\hat{\text{j}}-3\hat{\text{k}}$ and $\hat{\text{i}}-6\hat{\text{j}}-\hat{\text{k}}$ respectively are the position vectors of points A, B, C and D, then find the angle between the straight lines AB and CD. Find whether $\vec{\text{AB}}$ and $\vec{\text{CD}}$ are collinear or not.

Answer

Given:
The position vector of A is $\hat{\text{i}}+\hat{\text{j}}+\hat{\text{k}}.$
The position vector of B is $2\hat{\text{i}}+5\hat{\text{j}}.$
Therefore, $\vec{\text{AB}}=(2-1)\hat{\text{i}}+(5-1)\hat{\text{j}}+(0-1)\hat{\text{k}}=\hat{\text{i}}+\hat4{\text{j}}-\hat{\text{k}}$
The position vector of C is $3\hat{\text{i}}+2\hat{\text{j}}-3\hat{\text{k}}$ and
The postion vector of D is $\hat{\text{i}}-6\hat{\text{j}}-\hat{\text{k}}.$
Therefore, $\vec{\text{CD}}=(1-3)\hat{\text{i}}+(-6-2)\hat{\text{j}}\\+(-1+3)\hat{\text{k}}=-2\hat{\text{i}}-\hat8{\text{j}}+2\hat{\text{k}}$
$\cos\theta=\frac{\vec{\text{AB}}.\vec{\text{CD}}}{|\vec{\text{AB}}||\vec{\text{CD}}|}$
$\Rightarrow\cos\theta=\frac{-2-32-2}{\sqrt{18}\sqrt{72}}=-1$
$\Rightarrow\theta=180^\circ$
Since, angle between Line AB and CD is 180°, therefore $\vec{\text{AB}}$ and $\vec{\text{CD}}$ are collinear.

A toy company manufactures two types of dolls, A and B. Market tests and available resources have indicated that the combined production level should not exceed 1200 dolls per week and the demand for dolls of type B is at most half of that for dolls of type A. Further, the production level of dolls of type A can exceed three times the production of dolls of other type by at most 600 units. If the company makes profit of Rs. 12 and Rs. 16 per doll respectively on dolls A and B, how many of each should be produced weekly in order to maximise the profit?
