Three-dimensional Geometry

Question:

The plane $2x-(1+λ)y + 3λz=0$ passes through the intersection of the planes

Options:

2x-y=0 and y-3z=0

2x + 3z=0 and y=0

2xy + 3z=0 and y-3z=0

none of these

Correct Answer:

2x-y=0 and y-3z=0

Explanation:

The equation of the family of planes can be written as $(2x-y) + λ(-y+ 3z) = 0.$

Clearly, it represents a family of planes passing through the intersection of the planes 

$2x-y=$0 and $-y+ 3z=0$ or, $2x-y=0$ and $y-3z= 0$
