Answer:
(a)
Solution:
- Let the equation of plane is
$ a x+b y+c z=d $
Since plane (i) passes through the points $(0,-1,0)$ and $(0,0,1)$, then $-b=d$ and $c=d$
$\therefore$ Equation of plane becomes $a x-d y+d z=d$ $\because$ The plane (ii) makes an angle of $\frac{\pi}{4}$ with the plane
$ \begin{aligned} y-z+5 & =0 . \\ \cos \frac{\pi}{4} & =\left|\frac{-d-d}{\sqrt{a^{2}+d^{2}+d^{2}} \sqrt{1+1}}\right| \end{aligned} $
$[\because$ The angle between the two planes $a _1 x+b _1 y+c _1 z+d=0$ and $a _2 x+b _2 y+c _2 z+d=0$ is
$ \cos \theta=\left|\frac{a _1 a _2+b _1 b _2+c _1 c _2}{\sqrt{a _1^{2}+b _1^{2}+c _1^{2}} \sqrt{a _2^{2}+b _2^{2}+c _2^{2}}}\right| $
$\Rightarrow \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}=\frac{|-2 d|}{\sqrt{a^{2}+2 d^{2}} \sqrt{2}} \Rightarrow \sqrt{a^{2}+2 d^{2}}=|-d|$
$\Rightarrow a^{2}+2 d^{2}=4 d^{2}$
[squaring both sides]
$\Rightarrow a^{2}=2 d^{2} \Rightarrow a= \pm \sqrt{2} d$
So, the Eq. (ii) becomes
$ \pm \sqrt{2} x-y+z=1 $
Now, from options $(\sqrt{2}, 1,4)$ satisfy the plane
$ -\sqrt{2} x-y+z=1 $
