Options
- A2 : 1
- B4 : 3
- C-1 : 4
- D2 : 3
Correct answer
C. -1 : 4
Step-by-step solution
Let the ratio is : 1 . Equation of plane By section formula, coordinates of P= ( -4 +2 +1 , 5 -4 +1 , -6 +3 +1 ) which lies on the plane 3 ( -4 +2 +1 )+2 ( 5 -4 +1 )+ ( -6 +3 +1 )=4 array lc & -12 +6+10 -8-6 +3=4 +4 & -8 +1=4 +4 & 12 =-3 =-1 / 4 & : 1=-1: 4 array
