if ad(b c) bc(a d) . Show that R is an equivalence relation.
Sol. We have (a,b)R(c,d) given as ad(b c) bc(a d)
Reflexivity : Let (a, b) N N
ab(b a) ba(a b)
(a,b)R(a,b)
So, R is reflexive.
Symmetry : Let (a, b), (c, d) N N
Let (a, b)R(c, d) ad(b c) bc(a d)
So, R is symmetric.
cb(d a) da(c b)

Since R is reflexive, symmetric and transitive so, it is an equivalence relation.

The coordinates of random points on these lines are :
P(2 1,3 1, 4 1) and Q( 3, 2 k, )
Since L1 and L2 intersect each other so, the points P and Q must coincide for some real values of
and . That is 2 1 3...(i),3 1 2 k...(ii), 4 1 ...(iii)

Solving (i) and (iii), we get : , 5

The d.r.s of line L : 2, 3, 4 b 2i 3j 4k and L :1, 2, 1 b i 2j k .

Let L1 :

i j k

Therefore the d.r.s of normal to the required plane is b1 b 2 2 3 4 5i 2j k m

Also a point on plane is A(1, 1, 1) from line L1 so, OA a i j k
