Question 4 - Case Based Questions (MCQ) - Chapter 11 Class 12 Three Dimensional Geometry
Last updated at July 21, 2026 by Teachoo
Suppose the floor of a hotel is made up of mirror polished Salvatore stone. There is a large crystal chandelier attached to the ceiling of the hotel room. Consider the floor of the hotel room as a plane having the equation x – y + z = 4 and the crystal chandelier is suspended at the point (1, 0, 1).
Based on the above answer the following:
Question 1
Find the direction ratios of the perpendicular from the point (1, 0, 1) to the plane x – y + z = 4
(a) (–1, –1, 1)
(b) (1, –1, –1)
(c) (–1, –1, –1)
(d) (1, –1, 1)
Question 2
Find the length of the perpendicular from the point (1, 0, 1) to the plane x – y + z = 4.
(a) 2/√3 units
(b) 4/√3 units
(c) 6/√3 units
(d) 8/√3 units
Question 3
The equation of the perpendicular from the point (1, 0, 1) to the plane x – y + z = 4 is
(a) (x - 1)/2 = (y + 3)/(-1) = (z + 5)/3
(b) (x - 1)/(-2) = (y + 3)/(-1) = (z - 5)/2
(c) (x - 1)/1 = y/(-1) = (z - 1)/1
(d) (x - 1)/2 = y/(-2) = (z - 1)/1
Question 4
The equation of the plane parallel to the plane x – y + z = 4, which is at a unit distance from the point (1, 0, 1) is
(a) x - y + z + (2-√3)
(b) x - y + z - (2+√3)
(c) x - y + z + (2+√3)
(d) Both (a) and (c)
Question 5
The direction cosine of the normal to the plane x – y + z = 4 is
(a) (1/√3,(-1)/√3,(-1)/√3)
(b) (1/√3,(-1)/√3,1/√3)
(c) ((-1)/√3,(-1)/√3,1/√3)
(d) ((-1)/√3,(-1)/√3,(-1)/√3)
