Consider a plane `prod:vecr*(2hati+hatj-hatk)=5`, a line `L_(1): vecr=(3hati-hatj+2hatk)+k(2hati-3hatj-hatk)` and a point `A(3, -4, 1)*L_(2)` is a line passing through A intersecting `L_(1)` and parallel to plane `prod`.
Then equation of plane containing `L_(1) and L_(2)` is :

Options

A. (a) parallel to yz-plane
B. (b) parallel to x-axis
C. (c) parallel to y-axis
D. (d) passing through origin

Answer

To find the equation of the plane containing the lines \( L_1 \) and \( L_2 \), we will follow these steps:

### Step 1: Write the equation of the plane and line \( L_1 \)

The equation of the plane is given by:
\[ \vec{r} \cdot (2\hat{i} + \hat{j} - \hat{k}) = 5 \]

The line \( L_1 \) is given by:
\[ \vec{r} = (3\hat{i} - \hat{j} + 2\hat{k}) + k(2\hat{i} - 3\hat{j} - \hat{k}) \]
Where \( k \) is a scalar parameter.

### Step 2: Convert the line \( L_1 \) into parametric form

From the equation of \( L_1 \), we can express it in parametric form:
- \( x = 3 + 2k \)
- \( y = -1 - 3k \)
- \( z = 2 - k \)

### Step 3: Identify the point \( A \) and the direction vector of \( L_2 \)

The point \( A \) is given as \( (3, -4, 1) \). The line \( L_2 \) passes through point \( A \) and intersects \( L_1 \). Since \( L_2 \) is parallel to the plane, we need to find its direction vector.

### Step 4: Find the direction vector of the line \( L_1 \)

The direction vector of \( L_1 \) is:
\[ \vec{b_1} = (2, -3, -1) \]

### Step 5: Find the normal vector of the plane

The normal vector \( \vec{n} \) of the plane is:
\[ \vec{n} = (2, 1, -1) \]

### Step 6: Find the direction vector of \( L_2 \)

Since \( L_2 \) is parallel to the plane, its direction vector \( \vec{b_2} \) must be perpendicular to the normal vector \( \vec{n} \). Let the direction vector of \( L_2 \) be \( (a, b, c) \). The condition for perpendicularity is:
\[ 2a + 1b - 1c = 0 \]

### Step 7: Find the intersection point of \( L_1 \) and \( L_2 \)

Since \( L_2 \) intersects \( L_1 \), we can express \( L_2 \) in terms of a parameter \( \lambda \):
\[ \vec{r} = (3\hat{i} - 4\hat{j} + \hat{k}) + \lambda (a\hat{i} + b\hat{j} + c\hat{k}) \]

### Step 8: Set the equations equal for intersection

To find the intersection, we set the parametric equations of \( L_1 \) equal to those of \( L_2 \):
\[ 3 + 2k = 3 + a\lambda \]
\[ -1 - 3k = -4 + b\lambda \]
\[ 2 - k = 1 + c\lambda \]

### Step 9: Solve for \( k \) and \( \lambda \)

From the first equation:
\[ 2k = a\lambda \implies k = \frac{a\lambda}{2} \]

From the second equation:
\[ -1 - 3\left(\frac{a\lambda}{2}\right) = -4 + b\lambda \]
This can be simplified to find a relationship between \( a \), \( b \), and \( \lambda \).

### Step 10: Use the perpendicularity condition

Using the condition \( 2a + b - c = 0 \) and substituting values of \( a \), \( b \), and \( c \) from the intersection equations, we can find the values of \( a \), \( b \), and \( c \).

### Step 11: Find the normal vector of the plane containing \( L_1 \) and \( L_2 \)

The normal vector of the plane containing both lines can be found using the cross product:
\[ \vec{n_1} = \vec{b_1} \times \vec{b_2} \]

### Step 12: Write the equation of the plane

Using the point \( A(3, -4, 1) \) and the normal vector \( \vec{n_1} \), we can write the equation of the plane in the form:
\[ \vec{n_1} \cdot (\vec{r} - \vec{A}) = 0 \]

### Final Step: Simplify the equation

After substituting the values and simplifying, we will arrive at the final equation of the plane.
