If the foot of the perpendicular drawn from the origin to a plane is (1,2,3) , then a point on that plane is
Options
- A(3,2,1)
- B(7,2,1)
- C(7,3,-1)
- D(6,-3,4)
Correct answer
B. (7,2,1)
Step-by-step solution
DR′s of OP = = Since, OP is per pen dic u lar to the plane, there fore OP is nor mal to the plane. ∴ Equation of plane pass ing through (1, 2, 3) and hav ing d′r of its normal is 1(x − 1) + 2(y − 2) + 3(z − 3) = 0 ⇒ x + 2y + 3z − 14 = 0 ∴ (7, 2, 1) lies on the given plane.
