The equation of the line `x+y+z-1=0`, `4x+y-2z+2=0` written in the symmetrical form is

A

`(x-1)/(2)=(y+2)/(-1)=(z-2)/(2)`

B

`(x+(1//2))/(1)=(y-1)/(-2)=(z-(1//2))/(1)`

C

`(x)/(1)=(y)/(-2)=(z-1)/(1)`

D

`(x+1)/(1)=(y-2)/(-2)=(z=0)/(1)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
b, c, d

`" "x+y+z-1=0`
`" "4x+y-2z+2=0`
Therefore, the line is along the vector
`" "(hati+hatj+hatk)xx(4hati+hatj-2hatk)=3hati-6hatj+3hatk`
Let `z=k`. Then `x=k-1 and y=2-2k`
Therefore, `(k-1, 2-2k, k)` is any point on the line
Hence, `(-1, 2, 0), (0, 0, 1) and (-1//2, 1, 1//2)` are the points on the line.
