The line $\frac{x-3}{1}=\frac{y-4}{2}=\frac{z-5}{2}$ cuts the plane $x + y + z = 17 $ at
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The coordinates of any point on the given line are given by
$\frac{x-3}{1}=\frac{y-4}{2}=\frac{z-5}{2}=λ$
Suppose the givem line cuts the given plane at (λ+3,2λ+4, 2λ + 5).
This lies on the plane.
$ ∴ λ+3+ 2λ+4+2λ+5 = 17 ⇒ λ = 1 $
Hence, the coordinates of the required point are (4, 6, 7).
