In the adoining figure if the coordinates of point P are `(a,b,c)` write the coordinates of A,B,C,D,E and F.

A

`(a,b,-c),(-a,b,c),(a,-b,c)`

B

`(a,-b,-c),(-a,b,-c),(-a,-b,c)`

C

`(-a,-b,c),(a,-b,-c),(-a,b,-c)`

D

`(a,b,0),(0,b,c),(a,0,c)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
The reflection or image of `P(a,b,c)` in xy-plane will be as much below the xy-plane as point `P` is above it that is if `P'` is the reflection of `P` in xy-plane then `P'D=PD=c` and `P'D` is parallel to `OZ'`. So, the coordinates of `P'` are `(a,b,-c)`
The image of `P(a,b,c)` in yz-plane will be as much as on the back side of yz-plane as the point `P` is on its front side. Thus, if `P'` is the image of `P` in yz-plane then `P''` lies on `PE` such that `PE=EP''`.
But `PE=OA=a`. So the coordinates of `P''` are `(-a,b,c)`.
The image of `(a,b,c)` in zx-plane will be as much as on the left side of xz-plane as the point `P` is on its right side. Thus, if `P'''` is the image of `P` in `zx`- plane, then `P'''` lies of PF produced such tht `PF=FP'''`. But `PF=OB=b`. So, the cordinates of `P'''` are `(a,-b,c)`.
