Question : 78 of 78
Marks: +1, -0
Find the vector equation of the line passing through (1, 2, 3) and parallel to the planes r(i^j^+2k^)=5\vec{r}\cdot(\hat{i}-\hat{j}+2\hat{k})=5 and r(3i^+j^+k^)=6\vec{r}\cdot(3\hat{i}+\hat{j}+\hat{k})=6.
Solution:  
Let the direction of the line be b=b1i^+b2j^+b3k^\vec{b}=b_1\hat{i}+b_2\hat{j}+b_3\hat{k} .
∴ The equation of the line through (1, 2, 3) having the direction b\vec{b} is r=(i^+2j^+3k^)+λb\vec{r}=(\hat{i}+2\hat{j}+3\hat{k})+\lambda\vec{b}
r=(i^+2j^+3k^)\vec{r}=(\hat{i}+2\hat{j}+3\hat{k}) +λ(b1i^+b2j^+b3k^)+\lambda(b_1\hat{i}+b_2\hat{j}+b_3\hat{k}) ...(1)
Since line (1) is parallel to r(i^j^+2k^)=5\vec{r}\cdot(\hat{i}-\hat{j}+2\hat{k})=5
(b1i^+b2j^+b3k^)(i^j^+2k^)=0(b_1\hat{i}+b_2\hat{j}+b_3\hat{k})\cdot(\hat{i}-\hat{j}+2\hat{k})=0
b1b2+2b3=0\Rightarrow b_1 - b_2 + 2b_3 = 0 ...(2)
Again since line (1) is parallel to r(3i^+j^+k^)=6\vec{r}\cdot(3\hat{i}+\hat{j}+\hat{k})=6
(b1i^+b2j^+b3k^)(3i^+j^+k^)=0\therefore(b_1\hat{i}+b_2\hat{j}+b_3\hat{k})\cdot(3\hat{i}+\hat{j}+\hat{k})=0
3b1+b2+b3=0\Rightarrow 3b_1 + b_2 + b_3 = 0 ...(3)
Solving (2) and (3), we get b13=b25=b34\frac{b_1}{-3}=\frac{b_2}{5}=\frac{b_3}{4}
∴< – 3, 5, 4> are direction ratios of the line.
∴ The required equation of the line is r=(i^+2j^+3k^)\vec{r}=(\hat{i}+2\hat{j}+3\hat{k}) +λ(3i^+5j^+4k^)+\lambda(-3\hat{i}+5\hat{j}+4\hat{k})
