Parallelism Between Line and Plane or Constraint on Parameters
The question asks to find parameter values ensuring a line is parallel to a plane, a vector lies in a plane, or similar parallelism/containment conditions.
Let $P ( 3,2,6 )$ be a point in space and $Q$ be a point on the line $$\vec { r } = ( \hat { i } - \hat { j } + 2 \hat { k } ) + \mu ( - 3 \hat { i } + \hat { j } + 5 \hat { k } )$$ Then the value of $\mu$ for which the vector $\overrightarrow { P Q }$ is parallel to the plane $x - 4 y + 3 z = 1$ is (A) $\frac { 1 } { 4 }$ (B) $- \frac { 1 } { 4 }$ (C) $\frac { 1 } { 8 }$ (D) $- \frac { 1 } { 8 }$
If the line $\frac{x-3}{2} = \frac{y+2}{-1} = \frac{z+4}{3}$ lies in the plane $lx + my - z = 9$, then $l^2 + m^2$ is equal to: (1) $26$ (2) $18$ (3) $1$ (4) $2$
If the line $\frac{x-3}{2} = \frac{y+2}{-1} = \frac{z+4}{3}$ lies in the plane $lx + my - z = 9$, then $l^2 + m^2$ is equal to: (1) 18 (2) 5 (3) 2 (4) 26
Let $A$ be a point on the line $\vec { r } = ( 1 - 3 \mu ) \hat { i } + ( \mu - 1 ) \hat { j } + ( 2 + 5 \mu ) \hat { k }$ and $B ( 3,2,6 )$ be a point in the space. Then the value of $\mu$ for which the vector $\overrightarrow { A B }$ is parallel to the plane $x - 4 y + 3 z = 1$ is (1) $\frac { 1 } { 2 }$ (2) $\frac { 1 } { 4 }$ (3) $- \frac { 1 } { 4 }$ (4) $\frac { 1 } { 8 }$
Let $P$ be a plane $l x + m y + n z = 0$ containing the line, $\frac { 1 - x } { 1 } = \frac { y + 4 } { 2 } = \frac { z + 2 } { 3 }$. If plane $P$ divides the line segment $A B$ joining points $A ( - 3 , - 6,1 )$ and $B ( 2,4 , - 3 )$ in ratio $k : 1$ then the value of $k$ is
