Sol. (i) Solving the two equations of ray i.e. $x + y = | a |$ and $a x - y = 1$ we get $x = \frac { | a | + 1 } { a + 1 } > 0$ and $y = \frac { | a | - 1 } { a + 1 } > 0$ when $\mathrm { a } + 1 > 0$; we get $\mathrm { a } > 1 \quad \therefore \mathrm { a } _ { 0 } = 1$.
(ii) We have $\overrightarrow { \mathrm { a } } = \alpha \hat { \mathrm { i } } + \beta \hat { \mathrm { j } } + \gamma \hat { \mathrm { k } } \Rightarrow \overrightarrow { \mathrm { a } } \cdot \hat { \mathrm { k } } = \gamma$

(ii) We have $\cos \theta _ { 1 } = \frac { 1 - \tan ^ { 2 } \frac { \theta _ { 1 } } { 2 } } { 1 + \tan ^ { 2 } \frac { \theta _ { 1 } } { 2 } } = \frac { \mathrm { a } } { \mathrm { b } + \mathrm { c } } \Rightarrow \tan ^ { 2 } \frac { \theta _ { 1 } } { 2 } = \frac { \mathrm { b } + \mathrm { c } - \mathrm { a } } { \mathrm { b } + \mathrm { c } + \mathrm { a } }$
Also, $\cos \theta _ { 3 } = \frac { 1 - \tan ^ { 2 } \frac { \theta _ { 3 } } { 2 } } { 1 + \tan ^ { 2 } \frac { \theta _ { 3 } } { 2 } } = \frac { \mathrm { c } } { \mathrm { a } + \mathrm { b } } \Rightarrow \tan ^ { 2 } \frac { \theta _ { 3 } } { 2 } = \frac { \mathrm { a } + \mathrm { b } - \mathrm { c } } { \mathrm { a } + \mathrm { b } + \mathrm { c } }$ $\therefore \quad \tan ^ { 2 } \frac { \theta _ { 1 } } { 2 } + \tan ^ { 2 } \frac { \theta _ { 3 } } { 2 } = \frac { 2 \mathrm {~b} } { 3 \mathrm {~b} } = \frac { 2 } { 3 }$
(iii) Line through $( 0,1,0 )$ and perpendicular to plane $x + 2 y + 2 z = 0$ is given by $\frac { x - 0 } { 1 } = \frac { y - 1 } { 2 } = \frac { z - 1 } { 2 } = r$.
Let $\mathrm { P } ( \mathrm { r } , 2 \mathrm { r } + 1,2 \mathrm { r } )$ be the foot of perpendicular on the straight line then
$$r \times 1 + ( 2 r + 1 ) 2 + 2 \times 2 r = 0 \Rightarrow r = - \frac { 2 } { 9 }$$
$\therefore \quad$ Point is given by $\left( - \frac { 2 } { 9 } , \frac { 5 } { 9 } , - \frac { 4 } { 9 } \right)$ $\therefore \quad$ Required perpendicular distance $= \sqrt { \frac { 4 + 25 + 16 } { 81 } } = \frac { \sqrt { 5 } } { 3 }$ units.
