From a point P(a, b, c) perpendicular P A, P B are drawn to y z and z x planes. Find the equation of the plane O A B , where O is the origin.
Options
- Ab c x+c a y+a b z=0
- Bb c x+c a y-a b z=0
- Cb c x-c a y+a b z=0
- D-b c x+c a y+a b z=0
Correct answer
B. b c x+c a y-a b z=0
Step-by-step solution
P(a, b, c) and P A and P B are perpendicular to Y Z and Z X planes. Hence, coordinate of A and B are (0, b, c) and (a, 0, c) respectively. Equation of plane passing through (0,0,0),(0, b, c) and aligned &(a, 0, c) is | array lll x & y & z 0 & b & c a & 0 & c array |=0 & x(b c-0)-y(0-a c)+z(0-a b)=0 & b c x+a c y-a b z=0 aligned
