  1. A \(5 x-y+4 z+1=0\)
  2. B \(5 x+y+4 z+1=0\)
  3. C \(5 x-y+4 z=1\)
  4. D \(5 x+y+4 z=1\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(5 x-y+4 z=1\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Equation of plane passing through the line of intersection of given planes is \((x+2 y-3 z+2)+\lambda(6 x+y+z+1)=0\)
\((1+6 \lambda) x+(2+\lambda) y+(-3+\lambda) z+(2+\lambda)=0\)
This is parallel to the line \(\frac{x-1}{1}=\frac{y+2}{1}=\frac{z-7}{-1}\)
\(\therefore(1+6 \lambda)(1)+(2+\lambda)(1)+(-3+\lambda)(-1)=\) \(0 \Rightarrow \lambda=-1\)
Hence required equation of plane is
\(-5 x+y-4 z+1=0 \Rightarrow 5 x-y+4 z=1\)
