Class 12 Maths · Three Dimensional Geometry · Short Answer #37

Find points on x=(y−1)/2=(z+1)/2 at distance √11 from the origin.
Two points at distance √11 from the origin
Two points at distance √11 from the origin

✅ Step-by-Step Solution

Final Answer: (1,3,1) and (−1,−1,−3).
  1. Parametrize P(t)=(t,2t+1,2t−1).
  2. |P|²=t²+(2t+1)²+(2t−1)²=9t²+2=11, so t=±1.
  3. Substitution gives (1,3,1) and (−1,−1,−3).

📋 CBSE Stepwise Marking Scheme

  • [0.5 marks] Parametrize P(t)=(t,2t+1,2t−1).
  • [1 mark] |P|²=t²+(2t+1)²+(2t−1)²=9t²+2=11, so t=±1.
  • [0.5 marks] Substitution gives (1,3,1) and (−1,−1,−3).
