Questions  

Let P=1,2,0,Q=4,0,2 are any two points in the space. Suppose that d1,d2 are the projections of PQ on the x-axis, yz-plane respectively, then d12-d22

a
1
b
2
c
3
d
4

detailed solution

Correct option is A

The projection of PQ on x- axis is x2−x1Hence, the projection of  PQon x-axis is d1=3The projection of  PQ on yz-plane is y2−y12+z2−z12Hence, the projection of PQ on xy- plane is 0−22+−2−02=8=d2Therefore, d12−d22=9−8=1
