JEE Advanced 2024 · Introduction to Three Dimensional Geometry
Let L be the straight line joining the points P(1,2,−1) and Q(2,3,1).
Let S be the foot of the perpendicular drawn from the point R(4,−1,5) to the line L.
Another line passing through R intersects L at a point T such that the point S divides the line segment PT internally in the ratio ∣PS∣:∣ST∣=1:2, where ∣PS∣ and ∣ST∣ are the lengths of the line segments PS and ST, respectively.
Then which of the following statements is (are) TRUE ?
Answers:A. The orthocentre of the triangle PRT is (523,−4,531) · D. The area of the triangle PRT is 185
