Provide solution for RD Sharma maths class 12 chapter 28 The Plane exercise multiple choice question 18

Answers (1)

Answer:

 Option (a)

Hint:

 Use simultaneous equation.

Given:

 The equation of the plane which cuts equal intercepts of unit length of the co-ordinate axes.

Solution:

We know that the general equation of a planes

Ax+By+Cz+D=0, \text { where } D\neq 0 \qquad \qquad \dots(1)

Here, A, B, C are the coordinate of a normal vector to the plane, while (x, y, z) are the coordinates of any point through which the plane passes.

Again, we know the intercept form of plane

\frac{x}{a}+\frac{y}{b}+\frac{z}{c}=1 \qquad \qquad \dots(2), \text { where }A=\frac{D}{a},B=-\frac{D}{b},C=-\frac{D}{c} A

And the plane makes intercepts at (a, 0, 0), (0, b, 0) and (0, 0, c) with the axes x, y, z respectively.

Here a = b = c = 1

Put in the equation (2)

\frac{x}{1}+\frac{y}{1}+\frac{z}{1}=1

Hence the equation is x + y + z = 1
