Medium MCQ +4 / -1 PYQ · JEE Mains 2021

Let P be the plane passing through the point (1, 2, 3) and the line of intersection of the planes $$\overrightarrow r \,.\,\left( {\widehat i + \widehat j + 4\widehat k} \right) = 16$$ and $$\overrightarrow r \,.\,\left( { - \widehat i + \widehat j + \widehat k} \right) = 6$$. Then which of the following points does NOT lie on P?

  1. A (3, 3, 2)
  2. B (6, $-$6, 2)
  3. C (4, 2, 2) Correct answer
  4. D ($-$8, 8, 6)

Solution

$(x + y + 4z - 16) + \lambda ( - x + y + z - 6) = 0$<br><br>Passes through (1, 2, 3)<br><br>$- 1 + \lambda ( - 2) \Rightarrow \lambda = - {1 \over 2}$<br><br>$2(x + y + 4z - 16) - ( - x + y + z - 6) = 0$<br><br>$3x + y + 7z - 26 = 0$
