An equation of plane parallel to plane x - 2 y + 2 z - 5 = 0 and at a unit distance from the origin is
Options
- Ax - 2 y + 2 z = 3
- Bx - 2 y + 2 z + 1 = 0
- Cx - 2 y + 2 z - 1 = 0
- Dx - 2 y + 2 z + 5 = 0
Correct answer
A. x - 2 y + 2 z = 3
Step-by-step solution
Equation of plane parallel to the plane x - 2 y + 2 z - 5 = 0 is x - 2 y + 2 z + λ = 0 Since, this plane is unit distance from origin ∴   1 = λ 1 + 4 + 4 | λ | = 3 ⇒ λ = ± 3 ∴ Equation of plane is x - 2 y + 2 z = 3
