please solve this question pg 7 qno20 maths section entrance exam problen http://www.fiitjee.com/aieee2012/aieee2012solutions.pdf

OpenStudy (mathmale):

Please tell me what you already know about this type of problem and what you think you need to know to solve it. I'm very happy to guide you through the solution if you have already experienced this sort of problem before and can tell me what you need to know.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i understood the representation of the points in the two lines but how did they find the the t and s value can you tell the condition for intersecting lines in spacs

OpenStudy (anonymous):

space

OpenStudy (mathmale):

I believe I can help you with this. Have you on hand a reference book that might contain material on "symmetric equations of lines"? I'm still working with the other person, so there will be some delays in my responses.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i know the formula for distance between skew lines i dont know what i should do in this problem

OpenStudy (anonymous):

reply when you have time

OpenStudy (mathmale):

The problem statement comes with a solution which I find to be pretty straightforward. I need for you to tell me what part of that printed solution is clear for you and what part is not. I'd prefer to build my responses upon what you already know.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

findin t and s values

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i don't know how to find t and s values

OpenStudy (anonymous):

please help on this part

OpenStudy (mathmale):

Have y ou solved systems of linear equations before?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (mathmale):

Would you know how to solve x + 2y = 5 simultaneously with -3x + 7y = 9?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes of course

OpenStudy (mathmale):

Give me a minute, please.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok sir

OpenStudy (mathmale):

You'll see in the solution that any point on one line is given by ( 2t+1, 3t-1, 4t+1 ) and that any point on the other line is given by (s+3, 2s+k, s ). As you well know, x=x, y=y and z=z at any point (of intersection) that the 2 lines have in common. Therefore, 2t+1=s+3, and 3t-1=2s+k, and 4t+1=s Think about this situation. You have 3 equations in 2 unknowns, which means more info than strictly needed to solve the system. Please try to find s and t.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i got it now sir thanks a lot sir did nt think about the x=x part again thanks a lot

OpenStudy (mathmale):

Very glad that this discussion has helped you! Is Bangalore a city or is it a region?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its a city silicon valley of india many it companies are here

OpenStudy (mathmale):

I'll look that up. Of course, I've heard of Bangalore many times, but still don't know much about it. Glad to be in touch with you. Do let me know when you have more questions.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah i preparing for my entrance exams(really important) what do you think about the paper exams in a month

OpenStudy (anonymous):

this question from aieee 2012

OpenStudy (mathmale):

I find it to be rather challenging! Much of the material on this entry exam was not even taught in my high school back in the 1960s. Expectations of students in terms of knowledge and performance seem to be higher in countries such as yours (at least in sophisticated cities such as Bangalore) than many of my former students have encountered. Of course there are always exceptions: there are very bright and capable US students also, but they're not representative of the usual student.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

these exams are tough due to population of the country

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i don't think its required to keep such tough exams

OpenStudy (mathmale):

Well, when hundreds of thousands of students are expected to apply for positions at better universities, it makes sense to raise admissions standards so as to enroll students who are well prepared for and capable of challenging academics, don't you think? I believe Stanford recently accepted only 1-2 percent of applications for its freshman class.

OpenStudy (mathmale):

Hope you'll try your very best to learn, understand, review and apply the math involved in the exam we've been discussing.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes sir it must be morning there its night over here

OpenStudy (mathmale):

Yes, it's 0735 here. And in Bangalore?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i have to go now sir to eat dinner and then study thanks a lot sir for the help see you again sir

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its 9.07 pm

OpenStudy (mathmale):

Bye, aadithya!

The thought of good Indian food makes my mouth water!
