Class 12 Maths · Three Dimensional Geometry · Long Answer #82

Show that r=(1,1,-1)+t(3,-1,0), t∈ℝ and r=(4,0,-1)+t(2,0,3), t∈ℝ intersect and find their intersection.

✅ Step-by-Step Solution

Final Answer: (4,0,-1)
  1. Set A+td=B+ue and equate the three coordinates.
  2. Use A=(1,1,-1),d=(3,-1,0),B=(4,0,-1),e=(2,0,3).
  3. Solving gives t=1, u=0; both substitutions give (4,0,-1).
  4. All three coordinate equations agree, so the lines intersect at (4,0,-1).

📋 CBSE Stepwise Marking Scheme

  • [0.5 marks] Set A+td=B+ue and equate the three coordinates.
  • [1 mark] Use A=(1,1,-1),d=(3,-1,0),B=(4,0,-1),e=(2,0,3).
  • [1 mark] Solving gives t=1, u=0; both substitutions give (4,0,-1).
  • [0.5 marks] All three coordinate equations agree, so the lines intersect at (4,0,-1).
