Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(5 x+6 y+2 z-23=0\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Equation of plane passing through \((3,1,1)\), \((1,2,3)\) and \((-1,4,2)\) is
\(\left|\begin{array}{ccc}x-3 & y-1 & z-1 \\ 1-3 & 2-1 & 3-1 \\ -1-3 & 4-1 & 2-1\end{array}\right|=0\)
\(\Rightarrow\left|\begin{array}{ccc}x-3 & y-1 & z-1 \\ -2 & 1 & 2 \\ -4 & 3 & 1\end{array}\right|=0\)
\(\Rightarrow(x-3)(1-6)-(y-1)(-2+8) +(z-1)\)\((-6+4)=0 \)
\( \Rightarrow-5(x-3)-6(y-1)-2(z-1)=0 \)
\( \Rightarrow-5 x+15-6 y+6-2 z+2=0 \text {. } \)
\( \Rightarrow-5 x-6 y-2 \mathrm{z}+23=0 \)
\( \Rightarrow 5 x+6 y+2 z-23=0\)
