Easy MCQ +4 / -1 PYQ · JEE Mains 2021

Consider the three planes

P1 : 3x + 15y + 21z = 9,

P2 : x $-$ 3y $-$ z = 5, and

P3 : 2x + 10y + 14z = 5

Then, which one of the following is true?

  1. A P<sub>1</sub> and P<sub>2</sub> are parallel.
  2. B P<sub>1</sub>, P<sub>2</sub> and P<sub>3</sub> all are parallel.
  3. C P<sub>1</sub> and P<sub>3</sub> are parallel. Correct answer
  4. D P<sub>2</sub> and P<sub>3</sub> are parallel.

Solution

P<sub>1</sub> : 3x + 15y + 21z = 9,<br><br>P<sub>2</sub> : x $-$ 3y $-$ z = 5<br><br>P<sub>3</sub> : x + 5y + 7z = 5/2 <br><br>$\therefore$ P<sub>1</sub> and P<sub>3</sub> are parallel.
