A variable plane moves so that the sum of the reciprocals of its intercepts on the coordinate axes is `(1//2)`. Then, the plane passes through the point

A

`((1)/(2),(1)/(2),-(1)/(2))`

B

`(-1,1,1)`

C

`(2,2,2)`

D

`(0,0,0)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

Let equation of plane be
`(x)/(a)+(y)/(b)+(z)/(c)=1` . . . (i)
Then, according to the given condition
`(1)/(a)+(1)/(b)+(1)/(c)=(1)/(2)` . . . (ii)
From Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get
`x=2,y=2,z=2`
`:." "(x,y,z)-=(2,2,2)`
