Answer:

Correct Answer: A

Solution:

Equation of planes passing through intersecting the planes $ 3x-y-4z=0 $ and $ x+3y+6=0 $ is, $ (3x-y-4z)+\lambda ,(x+3y+6)=0 $ –(i)
Given, distance of plane (i) from origin is 1.

$ \therefore $ $ \frac{6\lambda }{\sqrt{{{(3+\lambda )}^{2}}+{{(3\lambda -1)}^{2}}+4^{2}}}=1 $
or $ 36{{\lambda }^{2}}=10{{\lambda }^{2}}+26 $ or $ \lambda =\pm 1 $
Put the value of $ \lambda $ in (i),

$ \therefore ,(3x-y-4z),\pm ,(x+3y+6)=0 $
or $ 4x+2y-4z+6=0 $ or $ 2x+y-2z+3=0 $
and $ 2x-4y-4z-6=0 $
Thus the required planes are $ x-2y-2z-3=0 $ and $ 2x+y-2z+3=0 $ .
