Rajasthan Board RBSE Class 12 Maths Chapter 14 Three Dimensional Geometry Ex 14.6
Question 1.
Find the equation of the plane which is perpendicular to x-axis and that passes through the point (2,-1,3).
Solution:
Equation of plane passing through point (2,-1,3)
a(x – 2) + b(y + 1) + c(z – 3) = 0
∵ Plane is perpendicular to T-axis.
∴ b = 0, c = 0
Hence required equation of plane
a(x – 2) + 0(y + 1) + 0(z – 3) = 0
⇒ a(x – 2) = 0
⇒ x – 2 = 0
(∵a ≠ 0)
Question 2.
Find the equation of the plane that passes through X-axis and point (3,2, 4).
Solution:
Equation of plane passing through (3, 2, 4)
a (x – 3) + b(y – 2) + c(z – 4) = 0 …..(1)
∵ Plane passes through X-axis
∴ a = 0,d = 0 ⇒ by + cz = 0 …..(2)
From (1), a = 0 so
b (y – 2) + c(z – 4) = 0 …..(3)
⇒ by – 2b + cz – 4c = 0
⇒ by + cz – 2b – 4c = 0
⇒ – 2b = c
[∵ by + cz = 0 from (2)]
⇒ b = -2c
∴ Equation of plane passing through (3,2,4) and X-axis
b(y- 2) + c(z – 4) = 0
⇒ – 2c(y – 2) + c(z – 4) = 0
⇒ -2y + 4 + z – 4 = 0
⇒ 2y – z = 0
Question 3.
A variable plane passes through the point (p, q, r) and meets the coordinate axis at point A, B and C. Show that the locus of a common point of plane passing through A, B and C and parallel to the coordinate planes, will be
Solution:
Let equation of plane is
∴ Plane passes through point (p,q,r)
Again plane meets the coordinate points.
Coordinates of points are (α,0,0)
Coordinates of point B are (0, β, 0)
and coordinates of point C are (0, 0, γ)
∴ Equation of planes, parallel to coordinate axis and passing through
Point A is x = α …..(3)
Point B is y = β …..(4)
Point C is z = γ …..(5)
∴ Locus of the point of intersection is
\(\frac { p }{ x } \) + \(\frac { q }{ y } \) + \(\frac { r }{ z } \) = 1
