Q11 / 100 · NTA Abhyas (JEE Main) 2020 · Mathematics · Vector Algebra

If the line x-12=y-23=z-44 intersect the xy and yz plane at points A and B respectively. If the volume of the tetrahedron OABC is V cubic units (where, O is the origin) and point C is 1,0,4, then the value of 102V is equal to

Correct answer: 68

Solution

On the xy plane, z=0
⇒x-12=y-23=-1⇒x=-1,y=-1
⇒ Coordinates of point A are -1,-1,0
On the yz plane, x=0
⇒-12=y-23=z-44⇒y=12,z=2
⇒ Coordinates of point B are 0,12,2
OA→=-i^-j^
OB→=12j^+2k^
OC→=i^+4k^
The volume of the tetrahedron OABC is V=16OA→ OB→ OC→
=16-1-100122104
=16-12+1-2=46=23 cubic units

Hence, 102V=68

Hence, the correct answer is 68.
