Q.1: The direction cosines of the y-axis are:
A. (9, 0, 0)
B. (1, 0, 0)
C. (0, 1, 0)
D. (0, 0, 1)
Answer: C. (0, 1, 0)
Q.2: Find the equation of the plane passing through the points P(1, 1, 1), Q(3, -1, 2), R(-3, 5, -4).
A. x + 2y = 0
B. x – y – 2 = 0
C. -x + 2y – 2 = 0
D. x + y – 2 = 0
Answer: D. x + y – 2 = 0
Explanation: Given three points, P(1, 1, 1), Q(3, -1, 2) and R(-3, 5, -4).
x − 1 y − 1 z − 1
Equation will be = x − 3 y + 1 z − 2
x + 3 y − 5 z + 4
On solving we get;
⇒x+y–2=0

= a + λ (b – a), λ ∈ R
Let a = -i + 2k
Starting Rs 3,999
And b = 3i + 4j + 6k
b – a = 4i + 4j + 4k
Let the vector equation be r, then;
r = -i + 2k + λ (4i + 4j + 4k)

Answer: A. Exactly two values
Q.10: What are the direction cosines of the equation of the plane 2x + 3y – z = 5?
A. 1/√14, 3/√14, -2/√14
B. 2/√14, 3/√14, -1/√14
C. 2/√14, 1/√14, -1/√14
D. 2/√14, -2/√14, -3/√14
Answer: B. 2/√14, 3/√14, -1/√14
Explanation: The equation of the plane, 2x + 3y – z = 5…. (1)
Direction ratio of the normal (2, 3, -1)
By using the formula,
√[(2)2 + (3)2 + (-1)2] = √14
Now,
Divide both the sides of equation (1) by √14, we get
2x/(√14) + 3y/(√14) – z/(√14) = 5/√14
So this is of the form lx + my + nz = d
Where, l, m, n are the direction cosines and d is the distance
Therefore, the direction cosines are 2/√14, 3/√14, -1/√14

Q.3: The equation x² – x – 2 = 0 in three-dimensional space is represented by:

A. A pair of parallel planes

B. A pair of straight lines

Q.5: If l, m, n are the direction cosines of a line, then;

A. l2+ m2+ 2n2 = 1

Answer: D. l2+ m2+ n2 = 1

A. (−3, −5, −3)

C. (−1, −5, −3)

Answer: A. (−3, −5, −3)

(−1−2), (−2−3), (1−4)

= (−3, −5, −3)

Q.7: If a line has direction ratios 2, – 1, – 2, determine its direction cosines:

D. None of the above

Explanation: Direction cosines are:

C. -i+2k+ λ(4i + 4j + 4k)

D. -i+2k+ λ(4i – 4j – 4k)

Answer: C. -i+2k+ λ(4i + 4j + 4k)

Explanation: The vector equation of the line is given by:

A. Exactly two values

B. Exactly three values

C. Exactly one value

Answer: A. Exactly two values

A. 1/√14, 3/√14, -2/√14

B. 2/√14, 3/√14, -1/√14

C. 2/√14, 1/√14, -1/√14

D. 2/√14, -2/√14, -3/√14

Answer: B. 2/√14, 3/√14, -1/√14

Explanation: The equation of the plane, 2x + 3y – z = 5…. (1)

Direction ratio of the normal (2, 3, -1)

By using the formula,

√[(2)2 + (3)2 + (-1)2] = √14

Divide both the sides of equation (1) by √14, we get

2x/(√14) + 3y/(√14) – z/(√14) = 5/√14

So this is of the form lx + my + nz = d

Where, l, m, n are the direction cosines and d is the distance

Therefore, the direction cosines are 2/√14, 3/√14, -1/√14
