A line through (1,−1,2)(1,-1,2) with direction ratios <3,2,2>< 3,2,2 > meets the plane x+2y+3z=18x+2 y+3 z=18. What is the point of intersection of line and plane?

Options

  1. A(4,4,1)(4,4,1)
  2. B(2,4,1)(2,4,1)
  3. C(4,1,4)(4,1,4)
  4. D(3,4,7)(3,4,7)

Correct answer

C. (4,1,4)(4,1,4)

Step-by-step solution


Let the line p(1,−1,2)p(1,-1,2) and meet the plane at point Q. Direction ratios of the line from the point (1, -1, 2) to the given plane is ⟨3,2,2⟩∴x−13=y+12=z−22=λ\langle 3,2,2\rangle\therefore \quad \frac{x-1}{3}=\frac{y+1}{2}=\frac{z-2}{2}=\lambda Co-ordinates any points on the line PQ are x=3λ+1,y=2λ−1,z=2λ+2x+2y+3z=18∴3λ+1+4λ−2+6λ+6=18⇒13λ+5=18⇒13λ=13⇒λ\begin{aligned} & x=3 \lambda+1, y=2 \lambda-1, z=2 \lambda+2 \\ & x+2 y+3 z=18 \\ & \therefore \quad 3 \lambda+1+4 \lambda-2+6 \lambda+6=18 \\ & \Rightarrow \quad 13 \lambda+5=18 \\ & \Rightarrow \quad 13 \lambda=13 \\ & \Rightarrow \quad \lambda \end{aligned} Hence, the co-ordinates of Q are (3+1,2−1,2+2)=(4,1,4)(3+1,2-1,2+2)=(4,1,4)
