Let L be the straight line joining the points P(1,2,-1) and Q(2,3,1). Let S be the foot of the perpendicular drawn from the point R(4,-1,5) to the line L. Another line passing through R intersects L at a point T such that the point S divides the line segment PT internally in the ratio |PS|:|ST|=1:2, where |PS| and |ST| are the lengths of the line segments PS and ST, respectively. Then which of the following statements is (are) TRUE ?

  1. The orthocentre of the triangle PRT is ( 235,-4, 315 )
  2. The orthocentre of the triangle PRT is (4,3,5)
  3. The area of the triangle PRT is 6 5
  4. The area of the triangle PRT is 18 5

Answer

(1) The orthocentre of the triangle PRT is ( 235,-4, 315 ), (4) The area of the triangle PRT is 18 5

Solution

L: (1+t, 2+t, -1+2t), direction (1,1,2).

Foot S: (3-t, -3-t, 6-2t) (1,1,2)=12-6t=0 t=2, S(3,4,3).

PT=3PS t=6, T(7,8,11).

RS PT, so area = 12|PT| |RS|= 12 6 6 1+25+4=3 180=18 5. (D) true, (C) false.

Orthocentre H lies on altitude RS: H=(3+s, 4-5s, 3+2s). Also PH RT=(3,9,6):

3(2+s)+9(2-5s)+6(4+2s)=48-30s=0 s= 85, H= ( 235,-4, 315 ). (A) true, (B) false.

Answer: (A), (D)
