Question
Show that the plane whose vector equation is $\vec{\text{r}}\cdot(\hat{\text{i}}+2\hat{\text{j}}-\hat{\text{k}})=3$ contains the line whose vector equation is $\vec{\text{r}}=\hat{\text{i}}+\hat{\text{j}}+\lambda(2\hat{\text{i}}+\hat{\text{j}}+4\hat{\text{k}}).$

Answer

The line $\vec{\text{r}}=(\hat{\text{i}}+\hat{\text{j}}+0\hat{\text{k}})+\lambda(2\hat{\text{i}}+\hat{\text{j}}+4\hat{\text{k}})\ ...(\text{i})$
Passes through a point whose posotion vector is $\vec{\text{a}}=\hat{\text{i}}+\hat{\text{j}}+0\hat{\text{k}}$ and is parallel to the vector $\vec{\text{b}}=2\hat{\text{i}}+\hat{\text{j}}+4\hat{\text{k}}$
If the plane $\vec{\text{r}}\cdot(\hat{\text{i}}+2\hat{\text{j}}-\hat{\text{k}})=3$ contains the given line, then
It should passes through the point $\hat{\text{i}}+\hat{\text{j}}+0\hat{\text{k}}.$
It should be parallel to the line.
Now, the plane passes through the point $\hat{\text{i}}+\hat{\text{j}}+0\hat{\text{k}}.$
So, the plane vector to the given plane is $\vec{\text{n}}=\hat{\text{i}}+2\hat{\text{j}}-\hat{\text{k}}.$
We observe that
$\vec{\text{b}}\cdot\vec{\text{n}}=(2\hat{\text{i}}+\hat{\text{j}}+4\hat{\text{k}})\cdot(\hat{\text{i}}+2\hat{\text{j}}-\hat{\text{k}})$
$=2+2-4=0$
Therefore, the plane is parallel to the line.
Hence, the given plane contains the given line.

A firm manufactures two types of products A and B and sells them at a profit of Rs. 5 per unit of type A and Rs 3 per unit of type B. Each product is processed on two machines $M_1$ and $M_2$.One unit of type $A$ requires one minute of processing time on $M _1$ and two minutes of processing time on $M _2$, whereas one unit of type $B$ requires one minute of processing time on $M_1$ and one minute on $M_2$. Machines $M_1$ and $M_2$ are respectively available for at most 5 hours and 6 hours in a day. Find out how many units of each type of product should the firm produce a day in order to maximize the profit. Solve the problem graphically.
A company produces two types of leather belts, say type A and B. Belt A is a superior quality and belt B is of a lower quality. Profits on each type of belt are Rs. 2 and Rs. 1.50 per belt, respectively. Each belt of type A requires twice as much time as required by a belt of type B. If all belts were of type B, the company could produce 1000 belts per day. But the supply of leather is sufficient only for 800 belts per day (both A and B combined). Belt A requires a fancy buckle and only 400 fancy buckles are available for this per day. For belt of type B, only 700 buckles are available per day.
How should the company manufacture the two types of belts in order to have a maximum overall profit?
