CBSEENMA12036232

If the angle θ between the line fraction numerator straight x plus 1 over denominator 1 end fraction space equals space fraction numerator straight y minus 1 over denominator 2 end fraction space equals space fraction numerator straight z minus 2 over denominator 2 end fractionand the plane space 2 straight x minus space straight y plus space square root of straight lambda space straight z space plus 4 space equals 0 is such of sin θ = 1/3 the value of λ is

  • 5/3

  • -3/5

  • 3/4

  • -4/3

Solution

A.

5/3

Angle between line and normal to plane is 
cos space open parentheses straight pi over 2 minus straight theta close parentheses space equals space fraction numerator 2 minus 2 space plus space 2 square root of straight lambda over denominator 3 space straight x square root of 5 space plus straight lambda end root end fraction where θ is the angle between line & plane
rightwards double arrow space sin space straight theta space equals space fraction numerator 2 space square root of straight lambda over denominator 3 square root of 5 plus straight lambda end root end fraction space equals space 1 third
straight lambda space equals space 5 over 3
