(1, 1, 1). If it cuts coordinate axis at A, B, C, then find the volume of the tetrahedron OABC.
Sol. Let (l, m, n) be the direction ratios of the normal to the required plane so that l n = 0 and l + m = 0
l = m = n and hence the equation of the plane containing (1, 1, 1) is

(x 1)
2

2
+ (2x + 3y + 1) = 0

It is orthogonal to x(x + 2) + (y + 1)(y 3) = 0
Or x

. If there is vector matrix X, such that AX = U has
infinitely many solutions, then prove that BX = V cannot have a unique solution. If afd 0 then prove that
BX = V has no solution.

19. A bag contains 12 red balls and 6 white balls. Six balls are drawn one by one without replacement of which
atleast 4 balls are white. Find the probability that in the next two draws exactly one white ball is drawn.
(leave the answer in terms of
n

).
Sol. Let P(A) be the probability that atleast 4 white balls have been drawn.
P(A
1
) be the probability that exactly 4 white balls have been drawn.
P(A
2
) be the probability that exactly 5 white balls have been drawn.
P(A
3
) be the probability that exactly 6 white balls have been drawn.
P(B) be the probability that exactly 1 white ball is drawn from two draws.

20. Two planes P
1
and P
2
pass through origin. Two lines L
1
and L
2
also passing through origin are such that L
1
lies on P
1
but not on P
2
, L
2
lies on P
2
but not on P
1
. A, B, C are three points other than origin, then prove
that the permutation [A, B, C] of [A, B, C] exists such that
(i). A lies on L
1
, B lies on P
1
not on L
1
, C does not lie on P
1
.
(ii). A lies on L
2
, B lies on P
2
not on L
2
, C does not lie on P
2
.
Sol. A corresponds to one of A, B, C and
B corresponds to one of the remaining of A, B, C and
C corresponds to third of A, B, C.
Hence six such permutations are possible
eg One of the permutations may A A; B B, C C
From the given conditions:
A lies on L
1
.
B lies on the line of intersection of P
1
and P
2

and C lies on the line L
2
on the plane P
2
.
Now, A lies on L
2
C.
B lies on the line of intersection of P
1
and P
2
B
C lie on L
1
on plane P
1
A.
Hence there exist a particular set [A, B, C] which is the permutation of [A, B, C] such that both (i) and
(ii) is satisfied. Here [A, B, C] [CBA].
