If the foot of the perpendicular drawn from the origin to a plane is \((1,2,3)\), then a point on that plane is

  1. A \((3,2,1)\)
  2. B \((7,2,1)\)
  3. C \((7,3,-1)\)
  4. D \((6,-3,4)\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \((7,2,1)\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

DR′s of OP = = Since, OP is per pen dic u lar to the plane, there fore OP is nor mal to the plane. ∴ Equation of plane pass ing through (1, 2, 3) and hav ing d′r of its normal is 1(x − 1) + 2(y − 2) + 3(z − 3) = 0 ⇒ x + 2y + 3z − 14 = 0 ∴ (7, 2, 1) lies on the given plane.
