Options
- A13 6
- B9
- C13 12
- D2
Correct answer
A. 13 6
Step-by-step solution
Equation of plane 4 x + 3 y + 2 z = 2 x a + y b + z c = 1 is intercept form a = x   intercept b = y   intercept c = z   intercept ⇒ 4 x + 3 y + 2 z = 2 ⇒ 4 x + 3 y + 2 z 2 = 1 ⇒ 4 x 2 + 3 y 2 + z = 1 ⇒ x 1 2 + y 2 3 + z 1 = 1 a = 1 2 , b = 2 3 , c = 1 Hence, a + b + c = 13 6 .
