MCQ
The plane XOZ divides the join of (1, -1, 5) and (2, 3, 4) in the ratio $\lambda:1$ then $\lambda$ is:
  • A
    -3
  • B
    $\frac{-1}{3}$
  • C
    3
  • D
    $\frac{1}{3}$

Answer

  1. $\frac{1}{3}$

Solution:

The plane XOZ divides the join of (1, -1, 5) and (2, 3, 4) in the ratio $\lambda:1$ i.e. y = 0 divide the join of (1, -1, 5) and (2, 3, 4) in the ratio.

$\lambda:1\therefore\frac{3\lambda−1}{\lambda+1}=0$

$\Rightarrow\lambda=\frac{1}{3}$
