Answer:
Correct Answer: E
Solution:
Equation of sphere is, $ x^{2}+y^{2}+z^{2}-3x+y-2z-\frac{1}{2}=0 $ \ Centre of sphere $ =( \frac{3}{2},\frac{-1}{2},1 ) $ Radius $ =\sqrt{( \frac{9}{4} )+( \frac{1}{4} )+1+\frac{1}{2}}=2 $ Now, radius of required sphere = 4, which is concentric with the given sphere. Hence, equation of required sphere is, $ {{( x-\frac{3}{2} )}^{2}}+{{( y+\frac{1}{2} )}^{2}}+{{(z-1)}^{2}}=16 $ i.e., $ 2x^{2}+2y^{2}+2z^{2}-6x+2y-4z-25=0 $ .
