उत्तर
Let L be the foot of perpendicular drawn from the points A (1, 8, 4) to the line passing through B and C as shown in the Figure.
The equation of line BC by using formula `vecr = veca + lambda(vecb - veca)`, the equation of the line BC is
`vecr = (-hatj + 3hatk) + lambda(2hati - 2hatj - 4hatk)`
⇒ `xhati + yhati + xhatk = 2lambdahati - (2lambda + 1)hati + lambda(3 - 4lambda)hatk`
Comparing both sides, we get
`x = 2lambda, y = -(2lambda + 1), z = 3 - 4lambda` ......(1)
Thus, the co-ordinate of L are `(2lambda, -(2lambda + 1), (3 - 4lambda)`
So that the direction ratios of the line AL are `(1 - 2lambda), 8 + (2lambda + 1), 4 - (3 - 4lambda)`
i.e. `1 - 2lambda, 2lambda + 9, 1 + 4lambda`
Since AL is perpendicular to BC, we have
(1 – 2λ) (2 – 0) + (2λ + 9) (–3 + 1) + (4λ + 1) (–1 –3) = 0
⇒ `lambda = (-5)/6`
The required point is obtained by substituting the value of λ, in (1), which is `((-5)/3, 2/3, 19/3)`.
