Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(15\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Let the image point be \(P(x_p, y_p, z_p)\). The formula for the image of a point \((x_1, y_1, z_1)\) in the plane \(ax+by+cz+d=0\) is \(\frac{x_p-x_1}{a} = \frac{y_p-y_1}{b} = \frac{z_p-z_1}{c} = k\), where \(k = -2\frac{ax_1+by_1+cz_1+d}{a^2+b^2+c^2}\).…
