D
For a point in octant IV, the x and z coordinates are positive and the y coordinate is negative.
:
B
For a point on the x-z plane, the y-coordinate is zero and the x and z coordinates are non-zero. Here, (3,0,-6) lies on the x-z plane.
:
C
Let P(x,y,z) divide the line segment joining A(1,-2,3) and B(3,4,-5) externally in the ratio 2:3. Therefore,
x=2×3+(−3)×12+(−3)=−3y=2×4+(−3)×(−2)2+(−3)=−14z=2×(−5)+(−3)×32+(−3)=19
P=(−3,−14,19)
:
D
The point (2,0,3) lies on the x-z plane as its y-coordinate is 0. Hence it is part of no octant.
:
D
The x-coordinate of a point is negative in the octants II, III, VI, VII
:
B and D
For a point in the VIII th octant, only the x-coordinate is positive and the y and z coordinates are negative. Here, (5,-2,-5) lies in the VIII th octant.

B
The distance of a point P(x,y,z) from the x-axis is
d=√y2+z2=√122+52=√144+25=√169=13 units
:
The distance of the point P(x,y,z) from the x-y plane is
d=|z|=9 units
:
B and D
Let the vertices of the triangle be A(0,7,-10), B(1,6,-6) and C(4,9,-6)
AB=√(1−0)2+(6−7)2+(−6−(−10))2=√12+12+42=√18BC=√(4−1)2+(9−6)2+(−6−(−6))2=√32+32+02=√18AC=√(4−0)2+(9−7)2+(−6−(−10))2=√42+22+42=√36
Here, AB=BC & AB2+BC2=AC2
Hence, the triangle is isosceles as well as right-angled.

B
Using the distance formula, the distance between the points (3,0,4) and (-1,3,4) is
d=√(−1−3)2+(3−0)2+(4−4)2=√42+52+02=√25=5 units
