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
    $3$
  • C
    $ - \frac{1}{3}$
  • $\frac{1}{3}$

Answer

Correct option: D.
$\frac{1}{3}$
d
(d) Since $ZOX$ plane i.e. $y = 0$ divides the join of $(1,-1, 5)$ and $(2, 3, 4)$ in the ratio $\lambda \,\,:1$.

$\therefore \,\,\,\frac{{3\lambda - 1}}{{\lambda + 1}} = 0\,\, $

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