Q47 / 90 · JEE Main 2022 (27 Jul Shift 1) · Mathematics

If the plane P passes through the intersection of two mutually perpendicular planes 2x+ky-5z=1 and 3kx-ky+z=5,k<3 and intercepts a unit length on positive x-axis, then the intercept made by the plane P on the y-axis is

  • A
    111
  • B
    511
  • C
    6
  • Correct answer
    D
    7

Solution

Given the plane P passes through the intersection of two mutually perpendicular planes 2x+ky-5z=1 and 3kx-ky+z=5,k<3

Since planes are mutually perpendicular

Then, 23k+k-k+-51=0

⇒6k-k2-5=0

⇒k=1,5

But k<3

So k=1

Now plane passing through these planes will be,

2x+y-5z-1+λ3x-y+z-5=0

⇒x5λ+12+3λ+y5λ+11-λ+z5λ+1λ-5=1

Given 5λ+12+3λ=1⇒λ=12

So intercept on y-axis =5λ+11-λ=7

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