Equation of the plane passing through $(1,-1,2)$ and perpendicular to the planes $x+2 y-2 z=4$ and $3 x+2 y+z=6$ is
  1. $6 x-7 y-4 z-5=0$
  2. $6 x+7 y-4 z+5=0$
  3. $6 x-7 y+4 z+5=0$
  4. $6 x+7 y+4 z-5=0$

Solution

The equation of plane passing through $(1,-1,2)$ is $\mathrm{a}(x-1)+\mathrm{b}(y+1)+\mathrm{c}(\mathrm{z}-2)=0$ Since plane (i) is perpendicular to the planes $x+2 y-2 z=4$ and $3 x+2 y+z=6$ $\begin{array}{ll} \therefore \quad & a+2 b-2 c=0 \\ & \text { and } 3 a+2 b+c=0 \\ & \Rightarrow \frac{a}{6}=\frac{b}{-7}=\frac{c}{-4} \end{array}$ $\therefore \quad$ The equation of the required plane is $\begin{aligned} & 6(x-1)-7(y+1)-4(z-2)=0 \\ & \Rightarrow 6 x-7 y-4 z-5=0 \end{aligned}$
