  1. A \(x-y-z=0\)
  2. B \(2 x-z=2\)
  3. C \(x-3 y-2 z=-2\)
  4. D \(x+3 y+z=4\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(x-y-z=0\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The equation of plane containing the line of intersection of the planes
\(2 x-y-4=0\) and \(y+2 z-4=0\) is
\((2 x-y-4)+\lambda(y+2 z-4)=0\)
But it passes through \((1,1,0)\)
\(\Rightarrow \lambda=-1\)
\(\Rightarrow\) The required equation of plane is
\(\begin{aligned} & (2 x-y-4)-(y+2 z-4)=0 \\ & \Rightarrow 2 x-2 y-2 z=0 \\ & \Rightarrow x-y-z=0\end{aligned}\)
