1. A parallelepiped S with base ABCD and top ABCD is compressed to a
parallelepiped T with the same base ABCD and top ABCD. Volume of T is
90% that of S. Prove that the locus of A is a plane. [2]

Solution

Volume of parallelepiped = Area of base ABCD X perpendicular distance between
ABCD and ABCD
= A X h
Base area ABCD of the parallelepiped = A = constant

If volume is now 0.9 times the initial volume,
height between ABCD and ABCD = h = 0.9 h

Therefore the plane ABCD will always be at a fixed height 0.9 h from
ABCD.

Hence locus of A is a plane parallel to the plane ABCD and at a fixed distance
from it.

BX = V has no solution.

20. P
1
and P
2
are planes passing through origin. L
1
and L
2
also passes through origin.
L
1
lies on P
1
not on P
2
and L
2
lies on P
2
but not on P
1
. Show that there exists
points A, B, C and whose permutation A.B.C can be chosen such that
(i) A is on L
1
, B on P
1
but not on L
1
and C not on P
1
.
(ii) A in on L
2
, B on P
2
but not on L

and C not on P

.

Solution

We take
' A A origin
' B B = any point other than origin on the line of intersection of P
1
and
P
2
.

' C C
= any point neither on P
1
nor on P
2

In this case both conditions (i) and (ii) are fulfilled.

Similarly if we take
A = nonorigin point on L
1

B = nonorigin point on the line of intersection of P
1
and P
2

C = nonorigin point on L

If we take A = C, B = B and C = A
Both the conditions (i) and (ii) are fulfilled
