The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the statements regarding the line \( L \) and the plane given by the equation \( 3x - 4y + 5z = 10 \). ### Step 1: Identify the normal vector of the plane The equation of the plane can be expressed in the form \( Ax + By + Cz = D \), where \( A = 3 \), \( B = -4 \), and \( C = 5 \). The normal vector \( \mathbf{n} \) to the plane is given by the coefficients of \( x \), \( y \), and \( z \): \[ \mathbf{n} = \langle 3, -4, 5 \rangle \] **Hint:** The normal vector of a plane can be directly obtained from the coefficients of \( x \), \( y \), and \( z \) in its equation. ### Step 2: Determine the direction ratios of the line \( L \) Since line \( L \) is perpendicular to the plane, its direction ratios will be the same as the components of the normal vector. Thus, the direction ratios of line \( L \) are: \[ \langle 3, -4, 5 \rangle \] **Hint:** A line perpendicular to a plane has direction ratios equal to the normal vector of that plane. ### Step 3: Calculate the direction cosines of line \( L \) The direction cosines \( l, m, n \) are calculated using the formula: \[ l = \frac{a}{\sqrt{a^2 + b^2 + c^2}}, \quad m = \frac{b}{\sqrt{a^2 + b^2 + c^2}}, \quad n = \frac{c}{\sqrt{a^2 + b^2 + c^2}} \] where \( a, b, c \) are the direction ratios. Here, \( a = 3 \), \( b = -4 \), and \( c = 5 \). First, calculate \( a^2 + b^2 + c^2 \): \[ a^2 + b^2 + c^2 = 3^2 + (-4)^2 + 5^2 = 9 + 16 + 25 = 50 \] Now, calculate the square root: \[ \sqrt{50} = 5\sqrt{2} \] Now, we can find the direction cosines: \[ l = \frac{3}{5\sqrt{2}}, \quad m = \frac{-4}{5\sqrt{2}}, \quad n = \frac{5}{5\sqrt{2}} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \] **Hint:** To find direction cosines, divide each direction ratio by the magnitude of the vector formed by those ratios. ### Step 4: Compare with Statement-2 The direction cosines we found are: \[ \left( \frac{3}{5\sqrt{2}}, \frac{-4}{5\sqrt{2}}, \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \right) \] This matches exactly with the direction cosines given in Statement-2. ### Conclusion - **Statement-1** is true: A line \( L \) can indeed be perpendicular to the plane \( 3x - 4y + 5z = 10 \). - **Statement-2** is also true: The direction cosines of line \( L \) are correctly stated. Therefore, both statements are true, and Statement-2 provides a correct explanation for Statement-1. **Final Answer:** Both Statement-1 and Statement-2 are true, and Statement-2 is a correct explanation of Statement-1.
