The equation of a plane containing the line of intersection of the planes $2 \mathrm{x}-\mathrm{y}-4=0$ and $\mathrm{y}+2 \mathrm{z}-4=0$ and passing through the point $(1,1,0)$ is
  1. $x-y-z=0$
  2. $2 x-z=2$
  3. $x-3 y-2 z=-2$
  4. $x+3 y+z=4$

Solution

The equation of plane containing the line of intersection of the planes $2 x-y-4=0$ and $y+2 z-4=0$ is $(2 x-y-4)+\lambda(y+2 z-4)=0$ But it passes through $(1,1,0)$ $\Rightarrow \lambda=-1$ $\Rightarrow$ The required equation of plane is $\begin{aligned} & (2 x-y-4)-(y+2 z-4)=0 \\ & \Rightarrow 2 x-2 y-2 z=0 \\ & \Rightarrow x-y-z=0\end{aligned}$
