Vector Algebra Question 246

Question: Angle between the line $ \mathbf{r}=(2\mathbf{i}-\mathbf{j}+\mathbf{k})+\lambda (-\mathbf{i}+\mathbf{j}+\mathbf{k}) $ and the plane $ \mathbf{r}.(3\mathbf{i}+2\mathbf{j}-\mathbf{k})=4 $ is

Options:

A) $ {{\cos }^{-1}}( \frac{2}{\sqrt{42}} ) $

B) $ {{\cos }^{-1}}( \frac{-2}{\sqrt{42}} ) $

C) $ {{\sin }^{-1}}( \frac{2}{\sqrt{42}} ) $

D) $ {{\sin }^{-1}}( \frac{-2}{\sqrt{42}} ) $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: D

Solution:

  • Use the formula, $ \sin \theta =\frac{\mathbf{n}.\mathbf{b}}{|\mathbf{n}||\mathbf{b}|} $ .
