The equation of plane passing through $(-1, 0, -1)$ parallel to $xz$ plane is:
  • A
    $y = -2$
  • $y = 0$
  • C
    $-x - z = 0$
  • D
    None of the above
Answer
Correct option: B.
$y = 0$
Given, that the plane is parallel to $xz$ plane and the plane passes through $(-1, 0, -1)$ since the plane is parallel to $xz$ plane, the $y-$coordinate should be constant
Given, that it passes through point $(-1, 0, -1)$
$\therefore$ The plane lies on $xz$ plane
$\therefore$ The equation of plane is $y = 0$

  • A
    $a : b$
  • B
    $b : c$
  • C
    $a : c$
  • $c : d$
Answer
Correct option: D.
$c : d$
Let $A ≡ (a, b, c)$ and $B ≡ (-a, -c, -b)$
Let the line joining $A$ and $B$ be divided by the $xy-$plane at point $P$ in the ratio $\lambda:1.$
Then, we have,
$\text{P}\equiv\Big(\frac{-\text{a}\lambda+\text{a}}{\lambda+1},\ \frac{-\text{c}\lambda+\text{b}}{\lambda+1},\ \frac{-\text{b}\lambda+\text{a}}{\lambda+1}\Big)$
Since $P$ lies on the $xy-$plane, the $z-$coordinate of $P$ will be zero
$\therefore\frac{-\text{b}\lambda+\text{c}}{\lambda+1}=0$
$\Rightarrow-\text{b}\lambda+\text{c}=0$
$\Rightarrow\lambda=\frac{\text{c}}{\text{b}}$
Hence, the $xz-$plane divides $AB$ in the ratio $c : b$

centroid $\Rightarrow\Big(\frac{1}{3\text{a}},\frac{1}{3\text{b}},\frac{1}{3\text{c}}\Big)=\Big(\frac{1}{6},\frac{-1}{3},1\Big)$ On comparing we get,
$3a = 6$
$\Rightarrow a = 2$
$3b = -3$
$\Rightarrow b = -1$
$3c = 1$
$\Rightarrow\text{c}=\frac{1}{3}$
$\therefore a = 2, b = -1,$

  • A
    Meeting point
  • Origin
  • C
    Triple point
  • D

Answer
Correct option: B.
Origin
The three perpendicular coordinate axes meets at one of the point which divides the plane into eight quadrant.
The $1^{st}$ quadrant has all positive points, $2^{nd}$ has $x-ve$ and remaining $2\ +ve$ points and so on.
Only $(0, 0, 0)$ is not included in any quadrant and is the intersection point.
Thus, the three axes meet at $(0, 0,0)$ from where the eight quadrants originate.

    $\frac{63}{2}$
Answer
Correct option: B.
$\frac{3\sqrt21}{2}$
First, we calculate the distance $AG,$
It is $(4 + 1 + 16)^{0.5}= 21^{0.5}$
From the property of the centroid that it divides the line joining $AD$ in the ratio $2 : 1.$
The distance $=\text{AD}=\frac{3}{2}\text{AG}$
$\text{AD}=\frac{3}{2}{ 21}^{0.5}$

$\mathrm{PQ}^2=(4-0)^2+(-2-1)^2+(1-2)^2=16+9+1=26$
$\mathrm{OP}^2=(0-0)^2+(1-0)^2+(2-0)^2=0+1+4=5$
$\mathrm{QO}^2=(0-4)^2+(0+2)^2+(0-1)^2=16+1+4=21$
Since, $\mathrm{PQ}^2=\mathrm{OP}^2+\mathrm{QO}^2$
Hence, $\angle\text{POQ}=\frac{π}{2}$

The position vectors of the four angular point of a tetrahedron $\text{OABC}$ are $(0, 0, 0), (0, 0, 2), (0, 4, 0)$ and $(6, 0, 0)$ respectively. Find the coordinates of cenroid:
  • A
    $\Big(2,\frac{4}{3},\frac{2}{3}\Big)$
  • $\Big(\frac{6}{4},1,\frac{2}{4}\Big)$
  • C
    $(0, 0, 0)$
  • D
    None of these
Answer
Correct option: B.
$\Big(\frac{6}{4},1,\frac{2}{4}\Big)$
Angular points of tetrahedron $\text{OABC}$ are.
$(0, 0, 0), (0, 0, 2), (0, 4, 0), (6, 0, 0)$ To find the coordinates of the centroid of the tetrahedron whose vertices are
$\left(x_1, y_1, z_1\right),\left(x_2, y_2, z_2\right),\left(x_3, y_3, z_3\right)$ and $\left(x_4, y_4, z_4\right)$ the centroid is
$\Big(\frac{\text{x}_{1}+\text{x}_{2}+\text{x}_{3}+\text{x}_{4}}{4}\Big),\Big(\frac{\text{y}_{1}+\text{y}_{2}+\text{y}_{3}+\text{y}_{4}}{4}\Big),\Big(\frac{\text{z}_{1}+\text{z}_{2}+\text{z}_{3}+\text{z}_{4}}{4}\Big)$
Now, substituting the values we get
$\Big(\frac{0+0+0+6}{4}\Big),\Big(\frac{0+0+4+0}{4}\Big),\Big(\frac{0+2+0+0}{4}\Big)$
$\therefore$ The coordinates of the centroid are $\Big(\frac{6}{4},1,\frac{2}{4}\Big)$

Choose the correct answer. If the distance between the points $(a, 0, 1)$ and $(0, 1, 2)$ is $27$, then the value of a is:
  • A
    $5$
  • $\pm5$
  • C
    $-5$
  • D
    None of these.
Answer
Correct option: B.
$\pm5$
Given points are $A(a, 0, 1)$ and $B(0, 1, 2).$
$\therefore\text{AB}=\sqrt{(\text{a}-0)^2+(0-1)^2+(1-2)^2}$
$=\sqrt{27} ($Given$)$
$\Rightarrow27=\text{a}^2+2$
$\Rightarrow\text{a}^2=25$
$\Rightarrow\text{a}=\pm5$

    $x^2+y^2+z^2=r$
  • $x^2+y^2+z^2=r^2$
  • C
    $x^2+y^2+z^2=2 r^2$
  • D
    None of the above
Answer
Correct option: B.
$x^2+y^2+z^2=r^2$
Sphere is locus of a point in $3D$ whose distance from a fixed point $($center$)$ is constant $($radius$)$
$\Rightarrow\sqrt{({\text{x}-0})^2+(\text{y}-0)^2+(\text{z}-0)^2}$
$=\mid\text{r}\mid\Rightarrow\text{x}^2+\text{y}^2+\text{z}^2=\text{r}^2$ square both sides.

Assertion $(A):$ If centroid and circumcentre of a triangle are known its orthocentre can be found
Reason $(R):$ Centriod, orthocentre and circumcentre of a triangle are collinear
  • Both $A$ and $R$ are individually true and $R$ is the correct explanation of $A.$
  • B
    Both $A$ and $R$ individually true but $R$ is not the correct explanation of $A.$
  • C
    $A$ is true but $R$ is false.
  • D
    $A$ is false but $R$ is true.
Answer
Correct option: A.
Both $A$ and $R$ are individually true and $R$ is the correct explanation of $A.$
Centroid, orthocentre and circumcentre are collinear and centroid dividesthe line joining orthocentre and circumcentre in the ratio $2 : 1$ so if any two points are given then this one can be found.

If the extremities of the diagonal of a square are $(1, -2, 3)$ and $(2, -3, 5),$ then the length of the side is
  • A
    $\sqrt{6}$
  • $\sqrt{3}$
  • C
    $\sqrt{5}$
  • D
    $\sqrt{7}$
Answer
Correct option: B.
$\sqrt{3}$
Length of the diagonal $=\sqrt{(2 − 1)^2 + (−3 + 2)^2 + (5 − 3)^2}$
$=\sqrt{1 + 1 + 4}$
$=\sqrt{6}$
$\therefore$ Length of the side $=\frac{\text{Length of diagonal}}{\sqrt{2}}$
$=\frac{\sqrt{6}}{\sqrt{2}}$
$=\sqrt{3}$
