The foot of the perpendicular drawn from the origin to the plane is \((4,-2,-5)\). Hence, the equation of the plane is

  1. A \(4 x-2 y+5 z=-5\)
  2. B \(4 x-2 y-5 z=45\)
  3. C \(4 x+2 y-5 z=37\)
  4. D \(4 x+2 y+5 z+13=0\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(4 x-2 y-5 z=45\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

D.r's of normal to the plane \(\langle 4-0,-2-0,-5-0\rangle \equiv\langle 4,-2,-5\rangle\)
Hence equation of the plane \(4 x-2 y-5 z=\lambda\)
But it passes through \((4,-2,-5)\)
\(\begin{aligned}
& \Rightarrow 4 \times 4-2 \times(-2)-5 \times(-5)=\lambda \\
& \Rightarrow \lambda=45
\end{aligned}\)
