The plane which bisects the line segment joining the points - 3 , - 3 , 4 and 3 , 7 , 6 at right angles, passes through which one of the following points?
Options
- A2 , 1 , 3
- B4 , 1 , - 2
- C4 , - 1 , 7
- D- 2 , 3 , 5
Correct answer
B. 4 , 1 , - 2
Step-by-step solution
The midpoint of line joining the given points is 0 , 2 , 5 and it lies on the required plane. Normal to the plane, the line joining the given points, has direction ratio < 6 , 10 , 2 > ≡ < 3 , 5 , 1 > ⇒ equation of plane is 3 x - 0 + 5 y - 2 + z - 5 = 0 ⇒ 3 x + 5 y + z = 15 Hence plane passes through point 4 , 1 , - 2
