NCERT Solutions for Class 11 Maths Chapter 12 Introduction to Three Dimensional Geometry Ex 12.3

Question 1.
Find the coordinates of the point which divides the line segment joining the points (-2, 3, 5) and (1, -4, 6) in the ratio
(i) 2 : 3 internally,
(ii) 2 : 3 enternally
Solution:
(i) Let P(x, y, z) be any point which divides the line segment joining the points A(-2, 3, 5) and B(1, -4, 6) in the ratio 2 : 3 internally.

(ii) Let P(x, y, z) be any point which divides the line segment joining the points 71 (-2, 3, 5) and B(1, -4, 6) in the ratio 2 : 3 externally. Then

Question 2.
Given that P(3, 2, -4), Q(5, 4, -6) and R(9, 8, -10) are collinear. Find the ratio in which Q divides PR.
Solution:
Let Q(5, 4, -6) divides the line segment joining the points P(3, 2, -4) and R(9, 8, -10) in the ratio k : 1 internally.

Question 3.
Find the ratio in which the YZ-plane divides the line segment formed by joining the points (-2, 4, 7) and (3, -5, 8).
Solution:
Let the line segment joining the points A(-2, 4, 7) and B(3, -5, 8) be divided by the YZ -plane at a point C in the ratio k : 1.

Question 4.
Using section formula, show that the points A(2, -3, 4), B(-1, 2, 1) and C are collinear.
Solution:
Let the points A(2, -3, 4), B(-l, 2,1) and C be the given points. Let the point P divides AB in the ratio k : 1. Then coordinates of P are
Let us examine whether for some value of k, the point P coincides with point C.

AB internally in the ratio 2:1. Hence A, B, C are collinear.

Question 5.
Find the coordinates of the points which trisect the line segment joining the points P(4, 2, -6) and Q(10, -16, 6).
Solution:
Let R and S be two points which trisect the line segment PQ.
