If $\mathrm{P}(3,2,6), \mathrm{Q}(1,4,5)$ and $\mathrm{R}(3,5,3)$ are the vertices of $\Delta \mathrm{PQR}$, then $\mathrm{m} \angle \mathrm{PQR}$ is
  1. $90^{\circ}$
  2. $50^{\circ}$
  3. $70^{\circ}$
  4. $30^{\circ}$

Solution

We have $P \equiv(3,2,6) ; Q \equiv(1,4,5)$ and $R \equiv(3,5,3)$ d.r. of $\mathrm{PQ}$ are $-2,2,-1$ and d.r. of $\mathrm{QR}$ are $2,1,-2$ We find that : $(-2)(2)+2(1)+(-1)(-2)=-4+2+2=0$ $\therefore \mathrm{PQ} \perp \mathrm{QR} \Rightarrow \mathrm{m} \angle \mathrm{PQR}=90^{\circ}$
