Q74 / 160 · AP EAMCET 2021 (20 Aug Shift 2) · Mathematics

The equation of the plane passing through 3 i^+2 j^ +6 k^ and parallel to the vectors 2 i^+ j^+ k^ and i-j+k is

  • A
    x+y+z=11
  • Correct answer
    B
    2 x-y-3 z=-14
  • C
    2 x-y+z=10
  • D
    x-2 y+3 z=17

Solution

Given that, the plane is parallel to the vectors 2 i^+ j^+k^ and i^- j^+k^

So, N→=(2 i+j+k)×(i-j+k)

N→=i^ j^i^2111-11=2i^- j^-3k^

a→=3i^+2 j^+6k^

Equation of the plane is, (r→-a→).N→=0

⇒((x-3)i^+(y-2) j^+(z-6)k^).(2i^- j^-3k^)=0

⇒2(x-3)-(y-2)-3(z-6)=0

⇒2x-y-3z=-14

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