Question

Let a plane P contain two lines
r=^i+λ(^i+^j),λR and
r=^j+μ(^j^k),μR.
If Q(α,β,γ) is the foot of the perpendicular drawn from the point M(1,0,1) to P, then 3(α+β+γ) equals

Solution

n=∣ ∣ ∣^i^j^k110011∣ ∣ ∣
n=^i+^j+^k
Equation of plane P is
1(x1)+1(y0)+1(z0)=0
xyz1=0
If Q(α,β,γ) is the foot of the perpendicular drawn from the point M(1,0,1) on the plane P, then
α11=β01=γ11=(1011)3
α=43,β=13,γ=23
(α+β+γ)=53
3(α+β+γ)=5
