A plane meets the coordinates axes at A, B and C such that centroid of \(\triangle A B C\) is at the point (2, 3, 1). If the equation of the plane is 3x + 2y + 6z = k, then k is:

  1. A 3
  2. B 18
  3. C 1
  4. D 0
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 18

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

A \( = (k/3, 0, 0) \), \( B = (0, k/2, 0) \), \( C = (0, 0, k/6) \) Centroid \( = \left( \frac{k/3 + 0 + 0}{3}, \frac{0 + k/2 + 0}{3}, \frac{0 + 0 + k/6}{3} \right) = \left( \frac{k}{9}, \frac{k}{6}, \frac{k}{18} \right) \) Equating with \( (2, 3, 1) \):…
