Answer:

(c)

Solution:

  1. Let the direction vector of the line

x32=y+21=z13 is b=2i^j^+3k^

Since, the required plane contains this line and its projection along the plane 2x+3yz=5, it will also contain the normal of the plane 2x+3yz=5.

Normal vector of the plane 2x+3yz=5 is n=2i^+3j^k^.

Now, the required plane contains b=2i^j^+3k^ and n=2i^+3j^k^.

Normal of the required plane is b×n.

Since, the plane contains the line x32=y+21=z13, therefore it also contains the point a=3i^2j^+k^.

Now, the equation of required plane is (ra)(b×n)=0

|x3y+2z1213231|=0

(x3)[19](y+2)[26]+(z1)[6+2]=0

8x+8y+8z+32=0

xyz=4

Note that (2,0,2) is the only point which satisfy above equation.
