Question:

The equation of a plane passing through (1, 2, -3), (0, 0, 0) and perpendicular to the plane 3x – 5y + 2z = 11, is :

Options:

$3 x+y+\frac{5}{3} z=0$

4x + y + 2z = 0

$3 x-y+\frac{z}{3}$

x + y + z = 0

Correct Answer:

x + y + z = 0

Explanation:

Let the required plane be

Ax + by + cz = 0

We have 3a – 5b + 2c = 0, a + 2b – 3c = 0

$\Rightarrow \frac{a}{15-4}=\frac{b}{2+9}=\frac{c}{6+5}$

$\Rightarrow a: b: c=11: 11: 11$

Thus plan is x + y + z = 0
