Let S be the reflection of a point Q with respect to the plane given by
r=-t+pi^+tj^+1+pk^
where t,p are real parameters and i^,j^,k^ are the unit vectors along the three positive coordinate axes. If the position vectors of Q and S are 10i^+15j^+20k^ and αi^+βj^+γk^ respectively, then which of the following is/are TRUE?
  1. 3α+β=-101
  2. 3β+γ=-71
  3. 3γ+α=-86
  4. 3α+β+γ=-121

Solution

Given,

Equation of plane is

r=-t+pi^+tj^+1+pk^

On rearranging we get,

r=k^+t-i^+j^+p-i^+k^

So, equation of plane in standard form is given by

r-k^-i^+j^-i^+k^=0

xyz-1-110-101=0

x+y+z=1      1

Now given coordinate of Q=10,15,20

And coordinates of S=α,β,γ

Now using the image formula of point and plane we get,

α-101=β-151=γ-201=-210+15+20-13

α-10=β-15=γ-20=-883

α=-583,β=-433,γ=-283

Now solving all options we get,

3α+β=-101

3β+γ=-71

3γ+α=-86 

3α+β+γ=-129
