Q97 / 160 · AP EAMCET 2022 (04 Jul Shift 2) · Mathematics

If 2,3,c are the direction ratios of a ray passing through the point C5,q,1 and also the mid point of the line segment joining the points Ap,-4.2 and B3,2,-4 then c.p+7q=

  • A
    17
  • Correct answer
    B
    34
  • C
    21
  • D
    28

Solution

The mid point of the line segment joining the points Ap,-4.2 and B3,2,-4  is given by Mp+32,-1,-1

Now given 2,3,c is direction ratio of line which passing through C5,q,1 & Mp+32,-1,-1

So, by direction ratio formula between two points we get,

p+32-5=2⇒p=11

-1-q=3⇒q=-4

-1-1=c⇒c=-2

Now solving c.p+7q by using above value we get,

c.p+7q=-2×11-28=34

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