The projection of the line (x+1)/(-1)=y/...

The projection of the line `(x+1)/(-1)=y/2=(z-1)/3` on the plane `x-2y+z=6` is the line of intersection of this plane with the plane a. `2x+y+2=0` b. `3x+y-z=2` c. `2x-3y+8z=3` d. none of these

A

`2x+y+2=0`

B

`3x+y-z=2`

C

`2x-3y+8z=3`

D

none of these

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
a

Equation of the plane through `(-1, 0, 1)` is
`" "a(x+1)+b(y-0)+c(z-1)=0" "` (i)
Which is parallel to the given line and perependicular to the given plane
`" "-a+2b+3c=0" "`(ii)
and `" "a-2b+c=0" "`(iii)
From Eq. (i) and (iii), we get
`" "c=0, a= 2b`
From Eq. (i), 2b (x+1)+ by =0
`rArr" "2x+y+2=0`
