A triangular plane ABC with centroid (1, 2, 3) cuts the coordinate axes at A, B, C respectively. What is the equation of plane ABC?
Options
- Ax+2 y+3 z=1
- B3 x+2 y+z=3
- C2 x+3 y+6 z=18
- D6 x+3 y+2 z=18
Correct answer
D. 6 x+3 y+2 z=18
Step-by-step solution
The plane passes through the point A (3,0,0), B (0,6,0) and C(0,0,9) . So, it should satisfy the equation given in option for all the three points. From option (A) For point A (3,0,0)x+2 y+3 z=1 array ll & 3+0+0 1 & option (A) is wrong. & From option (B) & For point A(3,0,0) & 3 x +2 y + z =3 & 3(3)+0+0 3 & option (B) is wrong. & From option (C) & For point A (3,0,0) & 2 x +3 y +6 z =18 & 2(3)+0+0 18 & option ( C ) is wrong. & From option ( D ) & For point A (3,0,0) & 6 x +3 y +2 z =18 array array ll & 6(3)+0+0=18
