JEE Mains · Maths · STD 12 - 11. three dimension geometry

Ifa variable plane, at a distance of \(3\, units\) from the origin, intersects the coordinate axes at \(A, B\) and \(C\), then the locus of the centroid of \(\Delta ABC\) is

  1. A \(\frac{1}{{{x^2}}} + \frac{1}{{{y^2}}} + \frac{1}{{{z^2}}} = 1\)
  2. B \(\frac{1}{{{x^2}}} + \frac{1}{{{y^2}}} + \frac{1}{{{z^2}}} = 3\)
  3. C \(\frac{1}{{{x^2}}} + \frac{1}{{{y^2}}} + \frac{1}{{{z^2}}} = \frac{1}{9}\)
  4. D \(\frac{1}{{{x^2}}} + \frac{1}{{{y^2}}} + \frac{1}{{{z^2}}} = 9\)

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\frac{1}{{{x^2}}} + \frac{1}{{{y^2}}} + \frac{1}{{{z^2}}} = 1\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Suppose centroid be \((h, k, \ell)\) \(x-\) intp \(=3 h, y-\) int \(p=3 k, z-\) intp \(=3 \ell\) Equation \(\frac{x}{3 h}+\frac{y}{3 k}+\frac{z}{3 \ell}=1\) Distance from \((0,0,0)\)…
