Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) 2

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Here given plane passes through the point \((2,0,1)\) and let \(\overline{\mathrm{b}}=\hat{\mathrm{i}}\) and \(\bar{c}=\hat{i}+2 \hat{j}-3 \hat{k}\).
Normal vector \(\overline{\mathrm{n}}=\overline{\mathrm{b}} \times \overline{\mathrm{c}}=\left|\begin{array}{ccc}\hat{\mathrm{i}} & \hat{\mathrm{j}} & \hat{\mathrm{k}} \\ 1 & 0 & 0 \\ 1 & 2 & -3\end{array}\right|=3 \hat{\mathrm{j}}+2 \hat{\mathrm{k}}\)
The equation of plane in scalar product from is \(\overline{\mathrm{r}} \cdot \overline{\mathrm{n}}=\overline{\mathrm{a}} \cdot \overline{\mathrm{n}}\)
Here \(\bar{a} \cdot \bar{n}=(2 \hat{i}+\hat{k}) \cdot(3 \hat{j}+2 \hat{k})=2\)
\(\therefore \alpha=2\)
