2a. Answer (1, 2, 3) JEE (Advanced)-2014

            
Given that x ⋅ y = y ⋅ z = z.x = 1 and a = λ( x × ( y × z )), b = μ( y × ( z × x ))
   
= λ( y − z ) = µ( z − x )
   
 a ⋅ y = λ(2 − 1) = λ,b ⋅ z = μ
      
(a ⋅ y )( y − z ) = λ( y − z ) = a (Option 2 is correct)
      
(b ⋅ z )( z − x ) = μ( z − x ) = b (Option 1 is correct)
   
(a ⋅ y )(b ⋅ z ) = λμ
     
and a ⋅ b = λμ( y − z ) ⋅ ( z − x )
= μ(1 – 1 – 2 + 1)
= –μ
   
= −(a ⋅ y )(b ⋅ z ) (Option 3 is correct)
      
(a ⋅ y )( z − y ) = λ( z − y ) ≠ a
 (1, 2, 3) are correct.

3. Answer (4)

| c |2  3  1   2   2 ⇒  2   2  2

a  b  c  0  + 4 = –1,  + 3 = ,  + 4 = –.

  = 1 and  = ± 1.

6. Answer (1, 2, 3)
Because planes are perpendicular hence image will be the same plane.

x  2 y 1 z
   , xy z 3 A
2 1 3 (–2, –1, 0)
Any point on this line is (2 – 2, – – 1, 3)
This point will satisfy the plane B

(2 – 2) + (– – 1) + (3) = 3 C (, , )

 4 – 3 = 3

 
2

⎛ 5 9 ⎞
So, point of intersection of plane is ⎜ 1, , ⎟ C .
⎝ 2 2⎠
Now, point on line is (–2, –1, 0) and direction ratio of AB (from figure) is

  2  1 
  k.
1 1 1
Any general point on line AB is (k – 2, k – 1, k).
This will satisfy equation so, (k – 2) + (k – 1) + k = 3.
 k = 2
Therefore, (, , )  (0, 1, 2).
So, equation of line passing through BC is

9a. Answer - A(q, s), B(p, r, s, t), C(t), D(r) (IIT-JEE 2009)
We have
(A) 2sin2 + sin22 = 2
 2sin2 + 4sin2cos2 = 2
sin2 + 2sin2cos2 = 1
sin2 + 2sin2(1 – sin2) = 1
3sin2 – 2sin4 = 1
2sin4 – 3sin2 + 1 = 0
2sin4 – 2sin2 – sin2 + 1 = 0
2sin2(sin2 – 1) – 1(sin2 – 1) = 0
(sin2 – 1)(2sin2 – 1) = 0
