Mark the correct alternative in the following:
The equation of the plane through the intersection of the planes x + 2y + 3z = 4 and 2x + y – z = –5 and perpendicular to the plane 5x + 3y + 6z + 8 = 0 is
The equation of the plane through the intersection of
the planes x + 2y + 3z=4 or, x + 2y + 3z - 4=0 and
2x + y–z=–5 or, 2x + y–z + 5=0 is given as,
(x + 2y + 3z - 4) + λ(2x + y–z + 5)=0
[where λ is a scalar]
x(1 + 2λ) + y(2 + λ) + z(3 - λ) - 4 + 5λ=0
Given, that the required plane is perpendicular to the plane 5x + 3y + 6z + 8=0 so, we should have,
5(1 + 2λ) + 3(2 + λ) + 6(3 - λ)=0
5 + 10λ + 6 + 3λ + 18 - 6λ=0
29 + 7λ=0
Therefore, the equation of the required plane is,
7(x + 2y + 3z - 4) - 29(2x + y–z + 5)=0
7x + 14y + 21z - 28 - 58x - 29y + 29z - 145=0
- 51x - 15y + 50z - 173=0
51x + 15y - 50z + 173=0
