If the plane \(\frac{x}{3}+\frac{y}{2}-\frac{z}{4}=1\) cuts the co-ordinate axes at points \(\mathrm{A}, \mathrm{B}\) and C , then the area of the triangle \(A B C\) is

  1. A \(\frac{\sqrt{61}}{2}\) sq. units
  2. B \(2 \sqrt{61}\) sq. units
  3. C \(\sqrt{61}\) sq. units
  4. D \(3 \sqrt{61}\) sq. units
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\sqrt{61}\) sq. units

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Intercepts: \(a=3, b=2, c=-4\) Area \( = \frac{1}{2} \sqrt{(ab)^2 + (bc)^2 + (ca)^2} \)
