Hence, statements 1 and 2 are correct we know that if AAT=IAAT=I then AA is called orthogonal matrix.
But AAT=A(−A)=−A2(AT=−A)AAT=A(−A)=−A2(AT=−A)
Hence, Statement 3 is not correct.

To obtain the center (a,b) and the radius c of a circle equation, rewrite it as (x−h)2+(y−k)2=r2(x−h)2+(y−k)2=r2, where (h, k) is the circle's center and r is its radius.
Consider, x2+y2+2x+6y+1=0x2+y2+2x+6y+1=0
To obtain the equation in the desired form use completing the square
(x2+2x+1)−1+(y2+6y+9)−9+1=0(x2+2x+1)−1+(y2+6y+9)−9+1=0
⇒(x+1)2+(y+3)2=9⇒(x+1)2+(y+3)2=9
⇒(x−(−1))2+(y−(−3))2=(3)2⇒(x−(−1))2+(y−(−3))2=(3)2
Center of the circle is (−1)(−1) and radius is 3.
∴a=−1,b=−3∴a=−1,b=−3 and c=3c=3
∴a2+b2+c2=(−1)2+(−3)2+(3)2=1+9+9=19∴a2+b2+c2=(−1)2+(−3)2+(3)2=1+9+9=19

with AB as its diameter and A=(1,−1,2)A=(1,−1,2) and B=(2,1,−1)B=(2,1,−1)
So, C will be midpoint of AB.
C=(1+22,1−12,−1+22)=(32,0,12)C=(21+2,21−1,2−1+2)=(23,0,21)
Since centre of the sphere is (−u,−v,−w)(−u,−v,−w)

x=5x=5 represents a line parallel to y-axis so there are infinite points on xy-plane.

On comparing we get a=2a=2, b=−3b=−3, c=6c=6, d=−4d=−4
Here we need to find the direction cosine of a normal to the plane i.e <l,m,n><l,m,n>

55. (c)
Assume the line from (1,−1,2)(1,−1,2) meet the plane at Q.
Direction ratios of the line from the point (1,−1,2)(1,−1,2) to the given plane is <3,2,2><3,2,2>
So the equation of the line passing through P and with direction ratios will be:
x−13=y+12=z−22=λ3x−1=2y+1=2z−2=λx=3λ+1,y=2λ−1,z=2λ+2x=3λ+1,y=2λ−1,z=2λ+2
Now, since Q lies on the plane so it must satisfy the equation of the plane.
i.e x+2y+3z=18x+2y+3z=18
∴3λ+1+4λ−2+6λ+6=18∴3λ+1+4λ−2+6λ+6=1813λ+5=18⇒λ=113λ+5=18⇒λ=1
Therefore, coordinates of Q are (3+1,2−1,2+2)=(4,1,4)(3+1,2−1,2+2)=(4,1,4)
56. (d) Let Plane ax+by+cz+d=0ax+by+cz+d=0 is passing through (1,0,0)(1,0,0), (0,1,0)(0,1,0) & (0,0,1)(0,0,1)
We will find the equation of plane
Hence a+b=0a+b=0, b+d=0b+d=0, c+d=0c+d=0
Solving above three equations, we get
a=b=c=−da=b=c=−d
Now Let a=b=c=−d=λa=b=c=−d=λ
So, equation of plane will be x+y+z−1=0x+y+z−1=0
Perpendicular distance from origin to the plane
p=∣−1∣(1)2+(1)2+(1)2=13 unitp=(1)2+(1)2+(1)2∣−1∣=31 unit
Hence, 3p2=3×13=13p2=3×31=1

Substitute (iii) in (ii)
2(−2m−n)−2m+3n=02(−2m−n)−2m+3n=0−4m−2n−2m+3n=0⇒−6m+n=0⇒n=6m−4m−2n−2m+3n=0⇒−6m+n=0⇒n=6m
From (iii) we get, l=−2m−n=−2m−6m=−8ml=−2m−n=−2m−6m=−8m
l−8m=mm=n6m−8ml=mm=6mn∴l−8=m1=n6=l2+m2+n2(−8)2+(1)2+(6)2=1101∴−8l=1m=6n=(−8)2+(1)2+(6)2l2+m2+n2=1011∴l=8101,m=1101,n=6101∴l=1018,m=1011,n=1016

59. (b) Rewrite the equation as follows:
ysinθ=9−xcosθysinθ=9−xcosθ⇒y=9sinθ−xcosθsinθ⇒y=sinθ9−xsinθcosθ⇒y=−xcosθsinθ+9sinθ...(i)⇒y=−xsinθcosθ+sinθ9...(i)
The general equation of line is
y=mx+c...(ii)y=mx+c...(ii)
On comparing (i) and (ii), we get
m=−cosθsinθm=−sinθcosθ
Since, the slope of perpendicular line are negative inverse of each other.
So, the slope m1m1 of the required line can be
m1=−(1cosθ)⇒m1=sinθcosθm1=−(cosθ1)⇒m1=cosθsinθ

Here 2x+y−3=02x+y−3=0 and 2x+y+52=02x+y+25=0 are parallel lines
