    The equation of plane which is parallel to\[x-\]axis  and  passes  through  the  line \[\frac{x-2}{2}=\frac{y-3}{3}=\frac{z-4}{5}\]is

    A)  \[2x+3y+5z=1\]  

    B)  \[2x-5y=4\]

    C)  \[5y-3z-3=0\]   

    D)  \[3y+4z=0\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

     Let the equation of plane passing through the line \[\frac{x-2}{2}=\frac{y-3}{3}=\frac{z-4}{5}\]is \[a(x-2)+b(y-3)+c(z-4)=0\]         ...(i) Since, normal to the plane will be perpendicular to give line. \[\therefore \] \[2a+3b+5c=0\]               ...(ii) Also, it is parallel to x-axis \[\therefore \] \[a=0\]                ...(iii) From Eqs. (ii) and (iii) \[3b+5c=0\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[\frac{b}{5}=\frac{c}{-3}\] From Eq. (i), \[0(x-2)+5(y-3)-3(z-4)=0\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[5y-3z-3=0\]
