Let C(x,y,z) be the centroid of the triangle whose vertices are (0,3,5), (1,4,-2) and (2,-1,3)
x=0+1+23=33=1y=3+4−13=63=2z=5−2+32=63=2
The centroid of the triangle is (1,2,2)

Let D(x,y,z) be the fourth vertex of the parallelogram.
The diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other.
Therefore, the midpoints of AC and BD are the same. Let this be O.
O=(3−12,−1+12,2+22)O=(1,0,2)
Now, O is the midpoint of BD
∴1+x2=1⇒x=12+y2=0⇒y=−24+z2=2⇒z=0
D=(1,0,2)

In the VII th octant, all three coordinates of a point are negative. Here, only the point (-2,-3,-10) lies in the seventh quadrant.
:
A
For a point on the x-y plane, the z-coordinate is zero and the x and y coordinates are non-zero. Here, (1,5,0) lies on the x-y plane.
:
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
The distance of a point P(x,y,z) from the z-axis is
d=√x2+y2=√152+82=√225+64=√289=17 units
:
C
Let P(x,y,z) be the required point.
According to the given condition
√(x−0)2+(y−0)2+(z−0)2=3⇒x2+y2+z2=9
:
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)
:
B
Let the YZ-plane divide the line segment joining the points (4,8,10) and (6,10,-8) in the ratio k:1 at the point P.
The x-coordinate of the point P is given by
x=4+6kk+1
Since P lies on the YZ plane, x=0
⇒4+6k=0⇒k=−23
Hence, the points are divided by the YZ-plane in the ratio 2:3 externally
