Mark the correct alternative in each of the following:

The unit vector perpendicular to the plane passing through points and is


The equations of the plane is given by


A(x-x1)+B(y-y1)+C(z-z1)=0


Where A,B and C are the drs of the normal to the plane.


Putting the first point,


=A(x-1)+B(y+1)+C(z-2)=0 …(1)


Putting the second point in Eqn (1)


=A(2-1)+B(0+1)+C(-1-2)=0


A+B-3C=0 …(a)


Putting the third point in Eqn (1)


=A(0-1)+B(2+1)+C(1-2)=0


= -A+3B-C=0 …(b)


Solving (a) and (b) using cross multiplication method


A+B-3C=0


-A+3B-C=0




Put these in Eqn(1)


=8α(x-1)+4α(y+1)+4α(z-2)=0


=2(x-1)+(y+1)+(z-2)=0


=2x+2+y+1+z-2=0


2x+y+z+1=0


Now the vector perpendicular to this plane is



Now the unit vector of is given by




((C)
