Three Dimensional Geometry Question 50

Question: The direction cosines of the normal to the plane $ 2x+3y-6z=5 $ are

Options:

A) $ 2,3,-6 $

B) $ \frac{2}{7}, \frac{3}{7}, -\frac{6}{7} $

C) $ \frac{2}{5},\frac{3}{5}, -\frac{6}{5} $

D) None of these

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: B

Solution:

Direction ratios of normal to the plane are (2, 3, ? 6)
$ \therefore $ Direction cosines are, $ ( \frac{2}{\sqrt{49}}, \frac{3}{\sqrt{49}}, -\frac{6}{\sqrt{49}} ) $ or $ ( \frac{2}{7}, \frac{3}{7}, \frac{-6}{7} ) $ .
