Q49 / 155 · WBJEE 2022 · Mathematics

The equation of the plane through the intersection of the planes $x+y+z=1$ and $2 x+3 y-z+4$ and parallel to the $x$-axis is

  • A
    $y+3 z+6=0$
  • B
    $y+3 z-6=0$
  • Correct answer
    C
    $y-3 z+6=0$
  • D
    $y-3 z-6=0$

Solution

$\quad(2 x+3 y-z+4)+\lambda(x + y+z-1)=0$ $\overrightarrow{\mathrm{n}}=(2+\lambda) \hat{\mathrm{i}}+(3+\lambda) \hat{\mathrm{j}}+(-1+\lambda) \hat{\mathrm{k}}$ $\overrightarrow{\mathrm{n}} \cdot \overrightarrow{\mathrm{i}}=0 \Rightarrow \lambda=-2$ $\Rightarrow \mathrm{y}-3 z+6=0$

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