Q100 / 160 · TS EAMCET 2019 (03 May Shift 2) · Mathematics

π1 is a plane passing through the point (1,2,3) and perpendicular to the planes x+2y+3z-6=0, x+2y+2z-5=0. If (-1,2,-3) is the foot of the perpendicular drawn from the point (1,3,2) on to a plane π2, then the angle between the planes π1 and π2 is

  • A
    cos-19255
  • B
    π4
  • Correct answer
    C
    cos-1610
  • D
    π2

Solution

We know that angle between two planes is the same as the angle between normals of these planes 

So normal vector of plane π2 is n2→=-i^+2j^-3k^-i^+3j^+2k^=-2i^-j^-5k^

Now let direction ratios of normal of plane π1 are a, b, c

Given that π1 is perpendicular to planes 

x+2y+3z-6=0 & x+2y+2z-5=0

So a+2b+3c=0 & a+2b+2c=0

Now a-2=b1=c0

So n1→=-2i^+j^

Now angle between planes cosθ=n1→·n2→n1→n2→

=4-1530=356=610

⇒θ=cos-1610

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
