The vector equation of a plane is a relation satisfied by position vectors of all the points on the plane. If P is a plane and `hat(n)` is a unit vector through origin which is perpendicular to the plane P then vector equation of the plane must be `rcdothat(n)=d` where d represents perpendicular distance of plane p from origin
Q. The position vector of the image of the point a in the plane `rcdothat(n)=d` must be `(dne0)`

A

`a+(d-acdothat(n))hat(n)`

B

`a-(d-ahat(n))hat(n)`

C

`a+acdothat(n)`

D

`a-acdothat(n)`
