X intercept of the plane containing the line of intersection of the planes x-2y+z+2=0 and 3x-y-z+1=0 and also passing through (1,1,1) is

  • A
    13
  • B
    2
  • Correct answer
    C
    12
  • D
    14

Solution

Equation of plane passing through line of intersection of given planes is given by,

x-2y+z+2+α3x-y-z+1=0

Since, the plane passes through the point 1, 1, 1 therefore, this point will satisfy equation of plane.

⇒1-2+1+2+α3-1-1+1=0

⇒α=-1

Then, equation of planes becomes x-2y+z+2-13x-y-z+1=0

⇒-2x-y+2z+1=0

Now, X intercept of this plane can be calculated by putting y=z=0, we get

-2x+1=0

⇒x=12 is the X intercept.

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