Determine the plane through the intersection of the planes $x+2 y+3 z-4=0$ and $2 x+y-z+5=0$ and perpendicular to the plane $5 x+3 y+6 z+8=0$

  • A
    $-51 x-15 y-50 z-173=0$
  • Correct answer
    B
    $51 x+15 y-50 z+173=0$
  • C
    $51 x-15 y+50 z-173=0$
  • D
    $51 x+50 y+15 z+173=0$

Solution

Equation of plane through the intersection of planes $x+2 y+3 z-4=0$ and $2 x+y-z+5=0$ is $(x+2 y+3 z-4)+k(2 x+y-z+5)=0$ or $(1+2 k) x+(2+k) y+(3-k) z+(5 k-4)=0 \quad \text{...(i)}$ D.R.' $s$ of normal of plane (i) are $$ = < (1+2 k),(2+k),(3-k)> $$ Given, $5 x+3 y+6 z+8=0 \quad \text{...(ii)}$ D.R.'s of plane (ii) are $ < 5,3,6>$. Since Eq. (i) is Perpendicular to the plane (ii), $$ \begin{aligned} &\therefore \quad 5(1+2 k)+(2+k) 3+6(3-k)=0 \\ &\Rightarrow \quad 5+10 k+6+3 k+18-6 k=0 \\ &\Rightarrow 7 k+29=0 \Rightarrow k=\frac{-29}{7} \end{aligned} $$ $\therefore$ Required equation of plane is $$ \begin{aligned} &(x-2 y+3 z-4)+\left(-\frac{29}{7}\right)(2 x+y-z+5)=0 \\ &\Rightarrow 7 x+14 y+21 z-28-58 x-29 y+29 z-145=0 \\ &\Rightarrow-51 x-15 y+50 z-173=0 \\ &\Rightarrow 51 x+15 y-50 z+173=0 \end{aligned} $$

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
