(b) -7
(c) No real value
(d) 4
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: 57.(a)
Solution:
- Given equation of straight line
$ \frac{x-4}{1}=\frac{y-2}{1}=\frac{z-k}{2} $
Since, the line lies in the plane $2 x-4 y+z=7$.
Hence, point $(4,2, k)$ must satisfy the plane.
$ \Rightarrow \quad 8-8+k=7 \Rightarrow k=7 $
