Three Dimensional Geometry Question 294

Question: The equation of the plane through the intersection of the planes $ x+y+z=1 $ and $ 2x+3y-z+4=0 $ parallel to $ x- $ axis is

[Orissa JEE 2003]

Options:

A) $ y-3z+6=0 $

B) $ 3y-z+6=0 $

C) $ y+3z+6=0 $

D) $ 3y-2z+6=0 $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: A

Solution:

The equation of the plane through the intersection of the plane $ x+y+z=1 $ and $ 2x+3y-z+4=0 $ is $ (x+y+z-1),+\lambda (2x+3y-z+4)=0 $ or $ (1+2\lambda )x+(1+3\lambda )y+(1-\lambda )z+4\lambda -1=0 $ Since the plane parallel to x-axis,
$ \therefore $ $ 1+2\lambda =0\Rightarrow \lambda =-\frac{1}{2} $ Hence, the required equation will be $ y-3z+6=0 $ .
