Detailed Answer :
Given :
N/C along (+) positive direction of -axis.
Surface area,
(i) In case of plane parallel to plane, normal to plane will be along -axis, so
Electric flux will be calculated using
(ii) Since plane is making an angle of with -axis, so normal to its plane will make with -axis, so Now finding Electric flux again with
