Q32 / 60 · JEE Advanced 2015 (Paper 1) · Mathematics
In , let L be a straight line passing through the origin. Suppose that all the points on L are at a constant distance from the two planes and Let M be the locus of the feet of the perpendiculars drawn from the points on L to the plane . Which of the following points lie (s) on M ?
- Correct answerA
- Correct answerB
- C
- D
Solution
Line L will lie on one of the angle bisector planes and will be parallel to line of intersection of the given planes. Also locus of foot of perpendicular of line L in plane will be line M, which will be parallel L.
Foot of perpendicular from (0, 0, 0) on plane is
Hence equation of line M
Where is vector parallel to line of intersection of and .
On checking satisfy the above equation.
Foot of perpendicular from (0, 0, 0) on plane is
Hence equation of line M
Where is vector parallel to line of intersection of and .
On checking satisfy the above equation.
Hence, the correct answer is options: 'A', 'B'.
