Q.

If the co-ordinates of A and B be (1, 2, 3) and (7, 8, 7), then the projections of the line segment AB on the co-ordinate axes are

View Answer

Correct choice: A

Explanation:

Here, x2 -x1 = 6, y2 -y1 = 6, z2 -z1 = 4 and d.c's of x,y,z -axes are (1,0,0), (0,1,0), (0, 0, 1) respectively.
Now projection = (x2 -x1)l + (y2 -y1)m + (z2 -z1)n
∴ Projections of line AB on co-ordinate axes are 6, 6, 4 respectively.
