Answer:
(d)
Solution:
Formula:
- Since, equation of planes passes through the line of intersection of the planes
$ x+y+z=1 $
and $2 x+3 y+4 z=5$, is
$ (x+y+z-1)+\lambda(2 x+3 y+4 z-5)=0 $
$\Rightarrow(1+2 \lambda) x+(1+3 \lambda) y+(1+4 \lambda) z-(1+5 \lambda)=0$ ……(i)
$\because \quad$ The plane (i) is perpendicular to the plane
$ x-y+z=0 \text {. } $
$\therefore \quad(1+2 \lambda)-(1+3 \lambda)+(1+4 \lambda)=0$
$\left[\because\right.$ if plane $a_{1} x+b_{1} y+c_{1} z+d_{1}=0$ is perpendicular to plane $a_{2} x+b_{2} y+c_{2} z+d_{2}=0$, then $\left.a_{1} a_{2}+b_{1} b_{2}+c_{1} c_{2}=0\right]$
$ \Rightarrow \quad 3 \lambda+1=0 $
$ \Rightarrow \quad \lambda=-\frac{1}{3} $ ……(ii)
So, the equation of required plane, is
$ \begin{aligned} & (1-\frac{2}{3}) x+(1-\frac{3}{3}) y+(1-\frac{4}{3}) z-(1-\frac{5}{3})=0 \\ & \Rightarrow \frac{1}{3} x-\frac{1}{3} z+\frac{2}{3}=0 \Rightarrow x-z+2=0 \end{aligned} $
Now, vector form, is $\mathbf{r} \cdot(\hat{\mathbf{i}}-\hat{\mathbf{k}})+2=0$
