Correct answer: D
The user wants me to analyze two statements regarding three planes and their lines of intersection.
The given planes are:
Let the normal vectors to the planes be respectively.
Let be the lines of intersection of the planes and , and , and and respectively.
Analysis of Statement 2: The three planes do not have a common point.
To check for a common point, we need to solve the system of linear equations:
Step 1: Solve the system of equations. We can add equation (1) and equation (2):
Substitute into equations (1) and (2): From (1): From (2): Both equations give the same relationship, .
Now substitute and into equation (3):
Step 2: Interpret the result. The result is a contradiction. This means the system of equations is inconsistent and has no solution. Therefore, the three planes do not have a common point of intersection.
Conclusion for Statement 2: STATEMENT - 2 is True.
Analysis of Statement 1: At least two of the lines and are non-parallel.
The direction vector of the line of intersection of two planes is given by the cross product of their normal vectors.
Step 1: Find the direction vector of line L1. is the intersection of and . Its direction vector is parallel to . So, is parallel to .
Step 2: Find the direction vector of line L2. is the intersection of and . Its direction vector is parallel to . So, is parallel to .
Step 3: Find the direction vector of line L3. is the intersection of and . Its direction vector is parallel to . So, is parallel to .
Step 4: Compare the direction vectors. We have found that , , and . This means that all three lines of intersection, , are parallel to each other.
Conclusion for Statement 1: The statement says "At least two of the lines and are non-parallel". Since all three lines are parallel, this statement is False.
Final Evaluation
- STATEMENT - 1 is False.
- STATEMENT - 2 is True.
This corresponds to option D.
Geometrically, since the three planes do not have a common point and their lines of intersection are parallel, they form a triangular prism.
