Find the equation of the sphere passing through the point

P(1, 1, −3) and which touches the plane x − 2y − 2z = 7 at

Given x − 2y − 2z = 7 (1) P
The drs of (1) are 1, −2, −2.

Let C be the centre CQ ⊥ (1)
CQ passes through Q(3, −1, −1)
and has direction ratios

1, −2, −2. x − 2y − 2z − 7 = 0

⇒ x = r + 3, y = −2r − 1, z = −2r − 1
i.e., C are (r + 3, −2r − 1, −2r − 1). h i
But CP = CQ ∵ CP, CQ are radius
CP2 = CQ2
(r + 3 − 1)2 + (−2r − 1 − 1)2 + (−2r − 1 + 3)2 = (r + 3 − 3)2

(r + 2)2 + (−2r − 2)2 + (−2r − 2)2 = (r)2 + 4r2 + 4r2
     
r2 + 4r + 4 + 4r2 + 8r + 4 + 4r2 − 8r + 4 = 9r2
4r + 12 = 0
4r = −12

(b) Find the maximum and minimum values of f (x, y) = x3 + 3xy2 −

15x2 − 15y2 + 72x. (16)
Solution: Given f (x, y) = x3 + 3xy2 − 15x2 − 15y2 + 72x
f x = 3x2 + 3y2 − 30x + 72
fy = 6xy − 30y
A = f xx = 6x − 30
B = f xy = 6y
C = fyy = 6x − 30
To find the stationary points
f x = 0 ⇒ 3x2 + 3y2 − 30x + 72 = 0 (1)
fy = 0 ⇒ 6xy − 30y = 0
MA 6153 - MATHEMATICS 17

⇒ 6x − 30 = 0 (or) y = 0
⇒ 6x − 30 = 0 ⇒ x = 5
Put y = 0 in (1), we get
3x2 − 30x + 72 = 0
x2 − 10x + 24 = 0
(x − 6)(x − 4) = 0
x = 6, 4
Put x = 5 in (1), we get
75 + 3y2 − 150 + 72 = 0
3y2 − 3 = 0
y2 = 1
y = ±1
Thus the stationary points are given by (6, 0), (4, 0), (5, 1),
(5, −1)
(6, 0) (4, 0) (5, 1) (5, −1)
A = 6x − 30 6 −6 0 0
B = 6y 0 0 6 −6
C = 6x − 30 6 −6 0 0
AC − B2 36 > 0 36 > 0 −36 < 0 −36 < 0
Conclusion Min. Pt. Max. Pt. Saddle Pt. Saddle Pt.
Thus (6, 0) is a minimum point.
∴ Minimum value f (x, y) at (6, 0) is
f (x, y) = f (6, 0) = 63 + 0 − (15) (6)2 − 0 + (72)(6)
= 216 − 540 + 432
= 108
Thus (4, 0) is a maximum point.
∴ Maximum value f (x, y) at (4, 0) is
f (x, y) = f (4, 0) = 43 + 0 − (15) (4)2 − 0 + (72)(4)
= 64 − 240 + 288

Solution: If A and B are any two events, and are not

(or)
P(A ∪ B) = P(A) + P(B) − P(AB) A∩B A∩B A∩B

the events A and A ∩ B are A B

P(A ∪ B) = P A ∪ A ∩ B

(ii) A and B are independent. A B
(iii) A and B are independent.
Proof:

(i) We know that

A∩B= A∪B
   
P A∩B = P A∪B
= 1 − P(A ∪ B)
h i
= 1 − P(A) + P(B) − P(A ∩ B)
(by addition theorem)
= 1 − P(A) − P(B) + P(A ∩ B)
= 1 − P(A) − P(B) + P(A) · P(B)
(Since A and B are independent)
h i
= 1 − P(A) − P(B) 1 − P(A)
h i h i
= 1 − P(A) · 1 − P(B)
   
=P A ·P B
∴ A and B are independent.

(ii) The events A ∩ B and

 A ∩ B are mutually exclusive such
that (A ∩ B) ∪ A ∩ B = B.
h  i
P (A ∩ B) ∪ A ∩ B = P(B)
 
P(A ∩ B) + P A ∩ B = P(B) (by addition theorem)
 
P A ∩ B = P(B) − P(A ∩ B)
 
P A ∩ B = P(B) − P(A) · P(B)
(by multiplication theorem)
h i
= P(B) 1 − P(A)
 
= P(B)P A
 
= P A · P(B)P(B)
∴ A and B are independent.

(iii) Now  
A = (A ∩ B) ∪ A ∩ B
h  i
P(A) = P (A ∩ B) ∪ A ∩ B
 
= P(A ∩ B) + P A ∩ B
 
P A ∩ B = P(A) − P(A ∩ B)
= P(A) − P(A) · P(B)
h i
= P(A) 1 − P(B)
 
= P(A) · P B
∴ A and B are independent.

Hence Proved.

2. State De Moivre’s theorem.

Solution : De Moivre’s Theorem states that for any ream number
‘x’ and integer ‘n’ it holds that where ‘i’ is the imaginary unit.
* [cos θ + i sin θ]n = cos nθ + i sin nθ, where n is an integer.
* One of the values of [cos θ + i sin θ]n is cos nθ + i sin nθ, where n is
a fraction.
Note:[cos θ + i sin θ]−n = cos nθ − i sin nθ.

3. Find the angle θ between the planes 2x − y + z = 6 and x − y − 2z = 3.

Solution : The given planes are
2x − y + z = 6 (1)
x − y − 2z = 3 (2)
The dr’s normal to the plane (1) are 2, −1, 1
i.e., a1 = 2, b1 = −1, c1 = 1

4. Show that the plane 2x − 2y + z + 12 = 0 touches the sphere x2 + y2 +

z2 − 2x − 4y + 2z − 3 = 0.
Solution : Sphere : x2 + y2 + z2 − 2x − 4y + 2z − 3 = 0 (1)
Plane : 2x − 2y + z + 12 = 0 (2)

Centre of (1) is (1, 2, −1) and

√ (1)
radius = 1 + 4 + 1 + 3 = 3.
C(1, 2, −1)
Lenth of the ⊥r from (1, 2, −1) on
plane (2) is

√ =
4+4+1 3
(2) P(x, y, z)
= 3(radius of th sphere)
2x − 2y + z + 12 = 0
∴ The plane (2) taouches the sphere (1).
Let P(x, y, z) be the point of contact. The CP is normal to the plane
(2).
∴ Dr’s of CP are (2, −2, 1).
Also CP passes through C(1, 2, −1).
Hence the equations of CP are
x−1 y−2 z+1
= = = r(say)
2 −2 1
Any point on this line may be taken as
(2r + 1, −2r + 2, r − 1) (3)
If this point lies on (2), it will be the point of contact.
This point lies on plane (2), if
2(2r + 1) − 2(−2r + 2) + (r − 1) + 12 = 0
32 Anna University Question Papers

4r + 24r − 4 + r − 1 + 12 = 0
9r + 9 = 0
r = −1
∴ From (3), the point of contact is (−1, 4, −2).

Solution : Given A and B are two independent events.

Proof:
We know that
A∩B= A∪B
   
P A∩B = P A∪B
= 1 − P(A ∪ B)
h i
= 1 − P(A) + P(B) − P(A ∩ B) (by addition theorem)
= 1 − P(A) − P(B) + P(A ∩ B)
= 1 − P(A) − P(B) + P(A) · P(B)
(Since A and B are independent)
h i
= 1 − P(A) − P(B) 1 − P(A)
h i h i
= 1 − P(A) · 1 − P(B)
   
=P A ·P B
∴ A and B are independent.

Substituting y = −x in (8), we get

Let B(x, y, z) be the centre of

plane x + 2y + 2z = 20.
The dr’s of CB is x − 1, y − 2, z − 3.

If this point lies on the plane, then
x + 2y + 2z = 20

(ii) A wall of length 10 m was to be built across an open

ground. The height of the wall is 4 m and thickness of the
wall is 24 cm. If this wall is to be built up with bricks
whose dimensions are 24cm × 12 cm × 8 cm, how many
bricks would be required? (8)
Solution:

h Wall h Brick b

10m

Volume of wall = length × breadth × height

= 1000 × 24 × 400cm3

First we need to write equation (2) into symmetrical form

2x + 3y + 4z − 11 = 0
Put z = 0, we get
x + 2y+ = 8 (3)

(ii) Ten competitors in a musical test were ranked by the three

judges A, B and C in the following order:

Ranks by A: 1 6 5 10 3 2 4 9 7 8
Ranks by B: 3 5 8 4 7 10 2 1 6 9
Ranks by C: 6 4 9 8 1 2 3 10 5 7

Use rank correlation method to discuss which pair of

judges has the nearest approach to common likings in
mean. (8)
Solution: Here X, Y, Z are discrete random variables.

Best pair of judges is decided by maximum(near to value
1) of above r values.
Here Max[r(X, Y) = −0.2121, r(Y, Z) = −0.2969, r(Z, X) =
0.6363] = 0.6363.
∴ The judges X and Z are the best pair in common likeness
