Question:

The equation of the plane containing the line $\vec{r} = \hat{i}+\hat{j} + λ(2\hat{i} + \hat{j} + 4\hat{k})$ is

Options:

$\vec{r}.(-\hat{i} -2 \hat{j} + \hat{k})=3$

$\vec{r}.(\hat{i} +2 \hat{j} - \hat{k})=0$

$\vec{r}.(\hat{i} +2 \hat{j} - \hat{k})=3$

none of these

Correct Answer:

$\vec{r}.(\hat{i} +2 \hat{j} - \hat{k})=3$

Explanation:

Clearly, the position vector of any point on the given line satisfies the equation of the plane $\vec{r}.(\hat{i} +2 \hat{j} - \hat{k})=3$

Hence, the given line lies in the plane given in option (c).
