Question No: 12
The Indian coast guard, while patrolling, saw a suspicious boat with people. They were nowhere
looking like fishermen. The coast guard were closely observing the movement of the boat for an
opportunity to seize the boat. They observed that the boat is moving along a planar surface. At an
instant of time, the coordinates of the position of the coast guard helicopter and the boat is
and respectively.
Based on the above answer the following:

the boat moves, then the equation of the plane is
(a)
(b)
(c)
(d)

meters) that the bullet has to travel?
(a)
(b)
(c)
(d)
If the coast guard decides to shoot the boat at that given instant of time, when the speed of bullet is
, then what is the time taken for the bullet to travel and hit the boat?
(a) seconds
(b) seconds
(c) seconds
(d) seconds
At that given instant of time, the equation of line passing through the positions of the helicopter and
boat is
(a)
(b)
(c)
(d)
At a different instant of time, the boat moves to a different position along the planar surface. What
should be the coordinates of the location of the boat if the coast guard shoots the bullet along the
line whose equation is for the bullet to hit the boat?
(a)
(b)
(c)
