Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(6 x-7 y-4 z-5=0\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The equation of plane passing through \((1,-1,2)\) is \(\mathrm{a}(x-1)+\mathrm{b}(y+1)+\mathrm{c}(\mathrm{z}-2)=0\)
Since plane (i) is perpendicular to the planes \(x+2 y-2 z=4\) and \(3 x+2 y+z=6\)
\(\therefore a+2 b-2 c=0 \)
\( \text { and } 3 a+2 b+c=0 \)
\( \Rightarrow \frac{a}{6}=\frac{b}{-7}=\frac{c}{-4}\)
\(\therefore\) The equation of the required plane is
\(
\begin{aligned}
& 6(x-1)-7(y+1)-4(z-2)=0 \\
& \Rightarrow 6 x-7 y-4 z-5=0
\end{aligned}
