Q44 / 90 · JEE Main 2022 (24 Jun Shift 2) · Mathematics

Let the points on the plane P be equidistant from the points -4,2,1 and 2,-2,3. Then the acute angle between the plane P and the plane 2x+y+3z=1 is

  • A
    π6
  • B
    π4
  • Correct answer
    C
    π3
  • D
    5π12

Solution

Plotting the diagram of the given information we get,

Figure

Normal vector of plane will be =AB→=OB→-OA→

=6i^-4j^+2k^ =23i^-2j^+k^

Now equation of plane is given by,

P≡3x+1-2y+1z-2=0

P≡3x-2y+z+1=0

Assuming other plane to be P'≡2x+y+3z-1=0

Now the angle between them is given by, cosθ=n^1·n^2n1n2

θ=cos-16-2+314×14

θ=cos-1714==cos-112=π3

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