5.5 Examine whether the plane ?? +?? +?? =?? cuts the cone ???? +???? +???? =?? in 
perpendicular lines. 
(2014 : 10 Marks) 
Solution: 
From the equation of plane and the cone it is clear that the lines of intensities passes 
through origin. 
Let equation of lines be 
?? ?? =
?? ?? =
?? ?? (??) 
(i) must satisfy equation of plane and cone. 
So,
?? +?? +?? =0 (???? ) 
and                                                             ???? +???? +???? =0 
From (ii) and (iii) 
???? +(?? +?? )×-(?? +?? )=0
