    The equation of the plane passing through the points \[(2,-1,0),\]\[(3,-4,5)\] and parallel to the line \[2x=3y=4z\] is

    A) \[29(x-2)+27(y+1)-22z=0\]

    B) \[29(x-2)-27(y+1)-22z=0\]

    C) \[29(x-2)+27(y+1)+22z=0\]

    D) None of these

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Any plane passing through \[(2,-1,0)\]is \[a(x-2)+b(y+1)+cz=0;\] ...[a]
    It will pass through \[(3,-4,5)\] if \[a-3b+5c=0\] ...[b]
    Also [a] will be parallel to \[2x=3y=4z,\] i.e, \[\frac{x}{\frac{1}{2}}=\frac{y}{\frac{1}{3}}=\frac{z}{\frac{1}{4}}\]
    If \[a.\frac{1}{2}+b.\frac{1}{3}+c.\frac{1}{4}=0\]or  \[6a+4b+3c=0\] ?[c]
    From (b) and (c), \[\frac{a}{-9-20}=\frac{b}{30-3}=\frac{c}{4+18}\]
    i.e, \[\frac{a}{29}=\frac{b}{-27}=\frac{c}{-22}\]
    Hence the plane is \[29(x-2)-27(y+1)-22z=0\]
