    The centre of the circle given by\[\vec{r}\cdot (\hat{i}+2\hat{j}+2\hat{k})=15\] and \[\left| \vec{r}-(\hat{j}+2\hat{k}) \right|=4\]is

    A) (0, 1, 2)

    B) (1, 3, 4)

    C) (-1, 3, 4)           

    D) none of these

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    [b] The equation of the line through the centre \[\hat{j}+2\hat{k}\] and normal to the given plane is \[\vec{r}=\hat{j}+2\hat{k}+\lambda (\hat{i}+2\hat{j}+2\hat{k})\]                                  ...(i) This meets the plane for which \[[\hat{j}+2\hat{k}+\lambda (\hat{i}+2\hat{j}+2\hat{k})]\cdot (\hat{i}+2\hat{j}+2\hat{k})=15\] Or \[6+9\lambda =15\] or \[\lambda =1\] Putting in (i) we get \[\vec{r}=\hat{j}+2\hat{k}+(\hat{i}+2\hat{j}+2\hat{k})\] \[=\hat{i}+3\hat{j}+4\hat{k}\] Hence, centre is\[(1,3,4)\].
