Class 12 Maths · Three Dimensional Geometry · Long Answer #87

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

✅ Step-by-Step Solution

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

📋 CBSE Stepwise Marking Scheme

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