  1. A (2, 3, 4)
  2. B \((14,-8,-1)\)
  3. C \((-2,0,-3)\)
  4. D \((1,-2,-3)\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \((14,-8,-1)\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Direction ratios of line joining the points (1,2,-3) and (-1,-2,1) is \((-1-1,-2-2,1+3)\) i.e. (-2,-4,4) Let the direction ratios of the normal to the plane is \((a, b, c),\) then \[ \begin{array}{r} 2 a+3 b+4 c=0 ....(i)\\ -2 a-4 b+4 c=0 ....(ii) \end{array} \] and By Eqs. (i)…
