Q45 / 90 · JEE Main 2014 (09 Apr Online) · Mathematics

Equation of the plane which passes through the point of intersection of lines x - 1 3 = y - 2 1 = z - 3 2  and  x - 3 1 = y - 1 2 = z - 2 3  and has the largest distance from the origin is:

  • Correct answer
    A
    4x+3y+5z=50
  • B
    3x+4y+5z=49
  • C
    5x+4y+3z=57
  • D
    7x+2y+4z=54

Solution

Line  

L1:x-13=y-21=z-32=λ

L2:x-31=y-12=z-23=μ

⇒   x=3λ+1andx=μ+3     y=λ+2 y=2μ+1      z=2λ+3 z=3μ+2

⇒3λ+1=μ+3⇒3λ-μ=2

λ+2=2μ+1⇒λ-2μ=-1

2λ+3=3μ+2⇒2λ-3μ=-1

Solving μ=1, λ=1

∴   Point of intersection P4,3,5 and D.R. of normal is (largest distance is normal distance which is OP) 4,3,5.

Equation of plane 4x+3y+5z+d=0 this passes through the point  4,3,5

⇒ 4×4+3×3+5×5+d=0

⇒ d=-50

So, equation of plane is 4x+3y+5z−50=0

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