Question
A plane which passes through the point (3, 2, 0) and the line $$\frac{{x - 4}}{1} = \frac{{y - 7}}{5} = \frac{{z - 4}}{4}$$ is :
A.
$$x-y+z=1$$
B.
$$x+y+z=5$$
C.
$$x+2y-z=1$$
D.
$$2x-y+z=5$$
Answer :
$$x-y+z=1$$
Solution :
As the point $$\left( {3,\,2,\,0} \right)$$ lies on the given line $$\frac{{x - 4}}{1} = \frac{{y - 7}}{5} = \frac{{z - 4}}{4}$$
$$\therefore $$ There can be infinite many planes passing through this line. But here out of the four options only first option is satisfied by the coordinates of both the points $$\left( {3,\,2,\,0} \right)$$ and $$\left( {4,\,7,\,4} \right)$$
$$\therefore \,\,x - y + z = 1$$ is the required plane.
