Question 21. Which of the following signs of x,y and z coordinates respectively of a point corresponds to octant IV?
  1.    - ,+, -
  2.    -, -, +
  3.    +, -, -
  4.    +, -, +
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> +, -, +
:
D
For a point in octant IV, the x and z coordinates are positive and the y coordinate is negative.
Question 22. Which of the following points lie on the x-z plane?
  1.    (1,0,0)
  2.    (3,0,-6)
  3.    (0,4,0)
  4.    (0,0,-5)
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> (3,0,-6)
:
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.
Question 23. The coordinates of the point P which divides the line segment joining A(1,-2,3) and B(3,4,-5) externally in the ratio 2:3 is
  1.    (9,2,-1)
  2.    P=(95,25,−15)
  3.    (-3,-14,19)
  4.    P=(35,145,−195)
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> (-3,-14,19)
:
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)
Question 24.


The point (2,0,3) lies in which octant?


  1.     Octant I
  2.     Octant IV
  3.     Both A and B
  4.     None
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> None
:
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.


Question 25.


In which of the following octants is the x-coordinate of a point negative?


  1.     II, IV, VI, VIII
  2.     III, V, VI, VII
  3.     II, III, VII, VIII
  4.     II, III, VI, VII
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> II, III, VI, VII
:
D

The x-coordinate of a point is negative in the octants II, III, VI, VII


Question 26.


Which of the following points lie in the VIII th octant?


  1.     (-1,-2,-5)
  2.     (1,-3,-4)
  3.     (-2,4,-9)
  4.     (5,-2,-5)
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> (1,-3,-4)
:
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.


Question 27.


The distance of the point (9,12,5) from the x-axis is ___.


  1.     9 units
  2.     13 units
  3.     18 units
  4.     21 units
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 13 units
:
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


Question 28.


The distance of the point (3,6,9) from the x-y plane is ___ units.


 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 13 units
:

The distance of the point P(x,y,z) from the x-y plane is
d=|z|=9 units


Question 29.


The triangle whose vertices are (0,7,-10), (1,6,-6) and (4,9,-6) is a ___.


  1.     acute-angled triangle
  2.     Right-angled triangle
  3.     scalene triangle
  4.     isosceles triangle
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> Right-angled triangle
:
B and D

Let the vertices of the triangle be A(0,7,-10), B(1,6,-6) and C(4,9,-6)
AB=(10)2+(67)2+(6(10))2=12+12+42=18BC=(41)2+(96)2+(6(6))2=32+32+02=18AC=(40)2+(97)2+(6(10))2=42+22+42=36
Here, AB=BC & AB2+BC2=AC2
Hence, the triangle is isosceles as well as right-angled.


Question 30.


What is the distance between the points (3,0,4) and (-1,3,4)?


  1.     4 units 
  2.     5 units
  3.     6 units
  4.     7 units
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 5 units
:
B

Using the distance formula, the distance between the points (3,0,4) and (-1,3,4) is 
d=(13)2+(30)2+(44)2=42+52+02=25=5 units
