    The equation of the line passing through the points (1, - 2,3) and parallel to the plane \[x-y+2z-5=3x+y+z-6=0\]is

    A)  \[\frac{x-1}{-3}=\frac{y+2}{5}=\frac{z-3}{4}\]

    B)  \[\frac{x-1}{1}=\frac{y+2}{-1}=\frac{z-3}{2}\]

    C)  \[\frac{x+2}{-3}=\frac{y-3}{5}=\frac{z+3}{4}\]

    D)  None of these

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

     If l, m, n be the direction cosines of the line, then as it lies in both the given planes it is perpendicular to their normal i.e., \[l-m+2n=0\]and\[3l+m+n=0\]or\[\frac{l}{-3}=\frac{m}{5}=\frac{n}{4}\]So, equation of the line is \[\frac{x-1}{-3}=\frac{y+2}{5}=\frac{z-3}{4}\]
