Q55 / 90 · JEE Main 2018 (15 Apr) · Mathematics

An angle between the plane x+y+z=5 and the line of intersection of the planes, 3x+4y+z-1=0 and 5x+8y+2z+14=0 is

  • A
    cos-1⁡317
  • B
    cos-1⁡317
  • C
    sin-1⁡317
  • Correct answer
    D
    sin-1⁡317

Solution

Let n→ be the vector along the line of intersection of given planes.

⇒n→=i^j^k^341582=i^(0)−j^(6−5)+k^(24−20)=−j^+4k^

Now, angle between the plane x+y+z=5 and the line of intersection of the planes 3x+4y+z-1=0 and 5x+8y+2z+14=0 is equal to π2-cos-1⁡-1+43  17

=π2-cos-1⁡317

=sin-1⁡317 ∵sin-1x+cos-1x=π2

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