The value of $k$, such that $\frac{x-4}{1}=\frac{y-2}{1}=\frac{z-k}{2}$ lies on the plane $2 x-4 y+z=7$, is

The value of $k$, such that $\frac{x-4}{1}=\frac{y-2}{1}=\frac{z-k}{2}$ lies on the plane $2 x-4 y+z=7$, is
  1. no real value
  2. 4
  3. -7
  4. 7

Solution

To lie the line on the plane, the point on the line must lie on the plane $\begin{aligned} & \Rightarrow 2 \times 4-4 \times 2+k=7 \\ & \Rightarrow k=7 \end{aligned}$
