JEE Main 2024 — 1 February, Shift 2 — Question 15

If the mirror image of the point P(3,4,9)\mathrm{P}(3,4,9) in the line x−13=y+12=z−21\frac{x-1}{3}=\frac{y+1}{2}=\frac{z-2}{1} is(α,β,γ)(\alpha,\beta,\gamma), then 14(α+β+γ)14(\alpha+\beta+\gamma) is

  1. Option A:

    102

  2. Option B:

    138

  3. Option C:

    108

    Correct
  4. Option D:

    132

Answer: C

Step-by-step solution

PN→⋅b→=0\overrightarrow{\mathrm{PN}} \cdot \overrightarrow{\mathrm{b}}=0 ?

3(3λ−2)+2(2λ−5)+(λ−7)=03(3 \lambda-2)+2(2 \lambda-5)+(\lambda-7)=0

14λ=23⇒λ=231414 \lambda=23 \Rightarrow \lambda=\frac{23}{14}

N(8314,3214,5114)\mathrm{N}\left(\frac{83}{14}, \frac{32}{14}, \frac{51}{14}\right)

∴α+32=8314⇒α=627\therefore \frac{\alpha+3}{2}=\frac{83}{14} \Rightarrow \alpha=\frac{62}{7}

β+42=3214⇒β=47\frac{\beta+4}{2}=\frac{32}{14} \Rightarrow \beta=\frac{4}{7}

γ+92=5114⇒γ=−127\frac{\gamma+9}{2}=\frac{51}{14} \Rightarrow \gamma=\frac{-12}{7}

Ans. 14(α+β+r)=10814(\alpha+\beta+r)=108
