The cartesian equation of a line passing through \((1,2,3)\) and parallel to planes \(x-y+2 z=5\) and \(3 x+y+z=6\) is

  1. A \(\frac{x-1}{-3}=\frac{y-2}{-5}=\frac{z-3}{4}\)
  2. B \(\frac{x-1}{-3}=\frac{y-2}{5}=\frac{z-3}{4}\)
  3. C \(\frac{x-1}{13}=\frac{y-2}{-1}=\frac{z-3}{1}\)
  4. D \(\frac{x-1}{3}=\frac{y-2}{1}=\frac{z-3}{1}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\frac{x-1}{-3}=\frac{y-2}{5}=\frac{z-3}{4}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Required equation
\(\frac{x-1}{(-1) \times 1-1 \times 2}=\frac{y-2}{3 \times 2-1 \times 1}=\) \(\frac{z-3}{1 \times 1-3 \times(-1)}\)
\(\Rightarrow \frac{x-1}{-3}=\frac{y-2}{5}=\frac{z-3}{4}\)
