1a. Answer (1) (AIEEE 2010)

We have

a.b  2  4  2  0

a . c    1  2  0

b . c  2  4    0
Thus  = 1 – 2
and 2 – 4 + 4 +  = 0
 3 = 6,  = 2
 = –3
(, ) = (–3, 2)

 x=3–2=1
y=1+2=3
z=6–2=4
which shows that statement-1 is true.
We observe that the line segment joining the points A(3, 1, 6) and B(1, 3, 4) has direction ratios 2, –2, 2
which one proportional to 1, –1, 1 the direction ratios of the normal to the plane. Hence statement-2 is true.

x y 1 z  2
The mid point of A(1, 0, 7) and B(1, 6, 3) is (1, 3, 5) which lies on the line  

Also the line passing through the points A and B is perpendicular to the given line, hence B is the mirror
image of A, consequently the statement-1 is true.
Statement-2 is also true but it is not a correct explanation of statement-1 as there are infinitely many
lines passing through the midpoint of the line segment and one of the lines is perpendicular bisector.

As n1·n2  (iˆ  ˆj  kˆ ) ·(2iˆ  3 ˆj  5kˆ )  2  3  5  0 , hence planes are perpendicular and the image of the plane
