The plane through the intersection of planes $x+y+z=1$ and $2 x+3 y-z+4=0$ and parallel to Y-axis also passes through the point
  1. $(3,3,-1)$
  2. $(-3,0,1)$
  3. $(3,2,1)$
  4. $(-3,0,-1)$

Solution

Equation of plane through the intersection of given planes is $\begin{aligned} & (x+y+z-1)+\lambda(2 x+3 y-z+4)=0 \quad \ldots \text { (i) } \\ & \Rightarrow(1+2 \lambda) x+(1+3 \lambda) y+(1-\lambda) z+4 \lambda-1=0 \end{aligned}$ Since the plane is parallel to $\mathrm{Y}$-axis. $\begin{aligned} \therefore \quad & 1+3 \lambda=0 \\ & \Rightarrow \lambda=\frac{-1}{3} \end{aligned}$ Substituting $\lambda=\frac{-1}{3}$ in (i), we get $\begin{aligned} & (x+y+z-1)-\frac{1}{3}(2 x+3 y-z+4)=0 \\ & \Rightarrow x+4 z-7=0 \end{aligned}$ Point $(3,2,1)$ satisfies this equation.
