MCQ 11 Mark
Directions : In these questions, a statement of Assertion is followed by a statement of Reason is given. Choose the correct answer out of the following choices :
Assertion : If the cartesian equation of a line is $\frac{\text{x}-5}{3}=\frac{\text{y}+4}{7}=\frac{\text{z}-6}{2},$ then its vector form is $\vec{\text{r}}=5\hat{\text{i}}-4\hat{\text{j}}+6\hat{\text{k}}+\lambda(3\hat{\text{i}}+7\hat{\text{j}}+2\hat{\text{k}}).$
Reason : The cartesian equation of the line which passes through the point $(-2, 4, -5)$ and parallel to the line given by $\frac{\text{x}+3}{3}=\frac{\text{y}-4}{5}=\frac{\text{z}+8}{6}$ is $\frac{\text{x}+3}{-2}=\frac{\text{y}-4}{4}=\frac{\text{z}+8}{-5}.$
Assertion : If the cartesian equation of a line is $\frac{\text{x}-5}{3}=\frac{\text{y}+4}{7}=\frac{\text{z}-6}{2},$ then its vector form is $\vec{\text{r}}=5\hat{\text{i}}-4\hat{\text{j}}+6\hat{\text{k}}+\lambda(3\hat{\text{i}}+7\hat{\text{j}}+2\hat{\text{k}}).$
Reason : The cartesian equation of the line which passes through the point $(-2, 4, -5)$ and parallel to the line given by $\frac{\text{x}+3}{3}=\frac{\text{y}-4}{5}=\frac{\text{z}+8}{6}$ is $\frac{\text{x}+3}{-2}=\frac{\text{y}-4}{4}=\frac{\text{z}+8}{-5}.$
- AAssertion and Reason both are correct statements and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion.

Assertion is correct statement but Reason is wrong statement.
In assertion the given cartesian equation is
$\frac{\text{x}-5}{3}=\frac{\text{y}+4}{7}=\frac{\text{z}-6}{2},$
$\Rightarrow\vec{\text{a}}=5\hat{\text{i}}-4\hat{\text{j}}+6\hat{\text{k}}$ and $\vec{\text{b}}=3\hat{\text{i}}+7\hat{\text{j}}+2\hat{\text{k}}$
The vector equation of the line is given by $\vec{\text{r}}=\vec{\text{a}}+\lambda\vec{\text{b}},\lambda\in\text{R}.$
$\Rightarrow\vec{\text{r}}=5\hat{\text{i}}-4\hat{\text{j}}+6\hat{\text{k}}+\lambda(3\hat{\text{i}}+7\hat{\text{j}}+2\text{k})$
Thus Assertion is correct. In reason it is given that the line passes through the point $(-2, 4, -5)$ and is parallel to
Clearly, the direction ratios of line are $(3, 5, 6)$.
Now the equation of the line $($in cartesian form$)$ is
$\frac{\text{x}-(-2)}{3}=\frac{\text{y}-4}{5}=\frac{\text{z}-(-5)}{6}$
$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{x}+2}{3}=\frac{\text{y}-4}{5}=\frac{\text{z}+5}{6}$
$\frac{\text{x}-5}{3}=\frac{\text{y}+4}{7}=\frac{\text{z}-6}{2},$
$\Rightarrow\vec{\text{a}}=5\hat{\text{i}}-4\hat{\text{j}}+6\hat{\text{k}}$ and $\vec{\text{b}}=3\hat{\text{i}}+7\hat{\text{j}}+2\hat{\text{k}}$
The vector equation of the line is given by $\vec{\text{r}}=\vec{\text{a}}+\lambda\vec{\text{b}},\lambda\in\text{R}.$
$\Rightarrow\vec{\text{r}}=5\hat{\text{i}}-4\hat{\text{j}}+6\hat{\text{k}}+\lambda(3\hat{\text{i}}+7\hat{\text{j}}+2\text{k})$
Thus Assertion is correct. In reason it is given that the line passes through the point $(-2, 4, -5)$ and is parallel to
Clearly, the direction ratios of line are $(3, 5, 6)$.
Now the equation of the line $($in cartesian form$)$ is
$\frac{\text{x}-(-2)}{3}=\frac{\text{y}-4}{5}=\frac{\text{z}-(-5)}{6}$
$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{x}+2}{3}=\frac{\text{y}-4}{5}=\frac{\text{z}+5}{6}$
