    The equation of the plane containing the straight line \[\frac{x}{2}=\frac{y}{3}=\frac{z}{4}\]and perpendicular to the plane containing  the straight lines \[\frac{x}{3}=\frac{y}{4}=\frac{z}{2}\]and \[\frac{x}{4}=\frac{y}{2}=\frac{z}{3}\]is:

    A) \[x+2y-2z=0\]

    B) \[x-2y+z=0\]

    C) \[5x+2y-4z=0\] 

    D) \[3x+2y-3z=0\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Vector along the normal to the plane containing the lines \[\frac{x}{3}=\frac{y}{4}=\frac{z}{2}\] and \[\frac{x}{4}=\frac{y}{2}=\frac{z}{3}\] is \[(8\hat{i}-j-10\hat{k}).\]
    Vector perpendicular to the vectors \[2\hat{i}+3\hat{j}+4\hat{k}\]and \[8\hat{i}-\hat{j}-10\hat{k}\]is \[26\hat{i}-52\hat{j}+26\hat{k}\]
    So, required plane is \[26x-52y+26z=0\]
    \[\Rightarrow \]\[x-2y+z=0\]
