Consider the line . Match List-I with List-II
| List-I | List-II |
|---|---|
| (A) A point on the given line | (I) |
| (B) Direction ratios of the given line | (II) (2, 3, 1) |
| (C) Direction cosines of the given line | (III) (5, -3, -1) |
| (D) Direction ratios of a line perpendicular to given line | (IV) (-2, 3, 1) |
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Solution
The line is given as:
This is in the vector form where:
gives a point on the line
gives the direction of the line
(A) A point on the given line → (IV) (-2, 3, 1)
Setting :
The point is
(B) Direction ratios of the given line → (III) (5, -3, -1)
From the direction vector
Direction ratios are
(C) Direction cosines of the given line → (I)
Direction cosines are obtained by dividing direction ratios by their magnitude.
For direction ratios :
Direction cosines
Magnitude
Direction cosines
(D) Direction ratios of a line perpendicular to given line → (II) (2, 3, 1)
Two lines are perpendicular when their direction vectors have dot product equal to zero.
For the given line with direction ratios and perpendicular line with :
Checking option (II):
Final Matching:
(A) → (IV)
(B) → (III)
(C) → (I)
(D) → (II)
