Equation of the plane perpendicular to the line ( x 1 = y 2 = z 3 ) and passing through the point ( (2, ), ( 3,4) ) is
Options
- A( x+2 y+3 z=9 )
- B( x+2 y+3 z=20 )
- C( 2 x+3 y+z=17 )
- D( 3 x+2 y+z=16 )
Correct answer
B. ( x+2 y+3 z=20 )
Step-by-step solution
Given that, x 1 = y 2 = z 3 (1) And point is P (2,3,4) . Now, direction ratio's of normal to the plane is 1,2,3 . So, equation is 1 x+2 y+3 z+d=0 It passes through point P (2,3,4) So, 2+6+12+d=0 d=-20 Therefore, required equation is x+2 y+3 z=20
