A variable plane is at a distance of 6 wits from the origin. If it meets the coordinate axes in \(A, B\) and \(C\), then the equation of the locus of the centroid of the \(\triangle A B C\) is

  1. A \(\frac{1}{x^2}+\frac{1}{y^2}+\frac{1}{z^2}=\frac{1}{4}\)
  2. B \(x^2+y^2+z^2=4\)
  3. C \(\frac{1}{x^2}+\frac{1}{y^2}+\frac{1}{z^2}=1\)
  4. D \(\frac{1}{x^2}+\frac{1}{y^2}-\frac{1}{z^2}=\frac{1}{4}\)

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\frac{1}{x^2}+\frac{1}{y^2}+\frac{1}{z^2}=\frac{1}{4}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Let the equation of plane \(\frac{x}{a}+\frac{y}{b}+\frac{z}{c}=1\) Distance from origin is 6. \[ \therefore 6=\frac{1}{\sqrt{\frac{1}{a^2}+\frac{1}{b^2}+\frac{1}{c^2}}} \Rightarrow \frac{1}{a^2}+\frac{1}{b^2}+\frac{1}{c^2}=\frac{1}{36} \] Centroid of plane is…
