Answer:

(c)

Solution:

  1. Let a be the position vector of the given point (4,1,2).

Then, a=4i^j^+2k^

The direction vector of the lines

x+23=y21=z+12 and x21=y32=z43

are respectively

b1=3i^j^+2k^ and b2=i^+2j^+3k^

Now, as the plane is parallel to both $\mathbf{b}{1}and\mathbf{b}{2}$

[ plane is parallel to the given lines]

So, normal vector (n) of the plane is perpendicular to both $\mathbf{b}{1}and\mathbf{b}{2}$.

n=b1×b2 and

Required equation of plane is

(ra)n=0(ra)(b1×b2)=0|x4y+1z2312123|=0ra=(xi^+yj^+zk^)(4i^j^+2k^)=(x4)i^+(y+1)j^+(z2)k^

and we know that, [abc]=a(b×c)

=|a1a2a3b1b2b3c1c2c3|

(x4)(34)(y+1)(92)+(z2)(6+1)=0

7(x4)7(y+1)+7(z2)=0

(x4)+(y+1)(z2)=0

x+yz1=0

(1,1,1) is the only point that satisfies.
