Take cross product with α̂ , we get : α α̂  x = αˆ  βˆ  x  (αˆ  x )αˆ

measured lines will coincide is .
(a  c) (b  c)
Let AB be the line, and suppose AP = x and PQ = a; also let a be measured from P towards B, so that x must be
less than b + c. Again let AP '  y, P ' Q '  b, and suppose P ' Q ' measured from P ' towards B, then y must be
less than a + c. Now in favorable case we must have AP '  AQ or else AP  AQ '
Hence y  a  x or x  b  y … (i)
We must have x  0 and  b  c

Take a pair of rectangular axes and make OX equal to b + c, and OY equal to a + c.

47.(AC) (a) The probability of S1 to be among the eight winners is equal to the probability of S1 winning in the
group, which is given by ½.
(b) If S1 and S2 are in the same pair-then exactly one wins.
If S1 and S2 are in two separate pairs, then for exactly one of S1 and S2 to be among the eight winners, S1
wins and S2 losses of S1 lose and S2 wins.
Now the probability of S1 , S2 being in the same pair and one wins is (Probability of S1 , S2 being in the same
pair)  (Probability of any one winning in the pair). And the probability of S1 , S2 being in the same pair is

The probability of any one winning in the pair of S1 , S2 is P(certain event) = 1.
Hence, the probability that the pair of S1 , S2 being in two pairs separately and any one of S1 , S2 wins is given
by the sum the probability of S1 , S2 being in two pairs separately and S1 wins, S2 loses and the probability of
S1 , S2 being in two pairs separately and S1 loses, S2 wins. It is given by
