If the sum of squares of distances of a point from the planes x+y+z=0,x−z=0x + y + z = 0, x - z = 0 and x−2y+z=0x - 2y + z = 0 is p2p^{2} then locus of the point is

Options

  1. Ax2+z2=p2x^{2} + z^{2} = p^{2}
  2. Bx2+2xy+y2+z2=p2x^{2} + 2xy + y^{2} + z^{2} = p^{2}
  3. Cx+y+z=p2x + y + z = p^{2}
  4. Dx2+y2+z2=p2x^{2} + y^{2} + z^{2} = p^{2}

Correct answer

D. x2+y2+z2=p2x^{2} + y^{2} + z^{2} = p^{2}

Step-by-step solution

Let distances of a point P(x,y,z)P \left(x, y, z\right) from the planes x+y+z=0,x−z=0x + y + z = 0, x - z = 0 and x−2y+z=0x - 2y + z = 0 are x+y+z3,x−z2\dfrac{x + y + z}{3}, \dfrac{x - z}{2} and x−2y+z6\dfrac{x - 2y + z}{6} respectively, then the sum of the squares of distances, is as

⇒ \left(\dfrac{x + y + z}{3}\right)2 + \left(\dfrac{x - z}{2}\right)2 + \left(\dfrac{x - 2y + z}{6}\right)2 = p^{2}</p><p></p><p>⇒ 2\left(x + y + z\right)^{2} + 3\left(x - z\right)^{2} + \left(x - 2y + z\right)^{2} = 6p^{2}</p><p></p><p>⇒ 2x^{2} + 2y^{2} + 2z^{2} + 4xy + 4yz + 4zx + 3x^{2} + 3z^{2} - 6xz + x^{2} + 4y^{2} + z^{2} - 4xy - 4yz + 2xz = 6p^{2}</p><p></p><p>⇒ 6x^{2} + 6y + 6z^{2} = 6p^{2}</p><p></p><p>⇒ x^{2} + y^{2} + z^{2} = p^{2}</p><p>Hence,option(d)iscorrect.</p></p><p>Hence, option (d) is correct.</p>
