    The coplanar points A, B , C , D are \[(2-x,2,2)\], \[(2,2-y,2)\],\[(2,2,2-z)\] and (1,1,1) respectively, then

    A) \[\frac{1}{x}+\frac{1}{y}+\frac{1}{z}=1\]       

    B) \[x+y+z=1\]

    C) \[\frac{1}{1-x}+\frac{1}{1-y}+\frac{1}{1-z}=1\]

    D) None of these

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    \[A(2-x,2,2),\,\,B(2,2-y,2),\,\,C(2,2,-z),\,\,D(1,1,1)\]
    \[\overrightarrow{DA}=(1-x)\hat{i}+\hat{j}+\hat{k}\,\,;\,\,\overrightarrow{DB}=\hat{i}+(1-y)\hat{j}+\hat{k}\,\,;\]
    \[\,\overrightarrow{DC}=\hat{i}+\hat{j}+(1-z)\hat{k}\]
    If four points are coplanar then
    \[[\overrightarrow{DA},\overrightarrow{DB},\overrightarrow{DC}]=0\] \[\Rightarrow \left| \begin{matrix}    1-x & 1 & 1  \\    1 & 1-y & 1  \\    1 & 1 & 1-z  \\ \end{matrix} \right|=0\]
    \[{{c}_{1}}\to {{c}_{1}}-{{c}_{2}}\]and\[{{c}_{2}}\to {{c}_{2}}-{{c}_{3}}\]\[\Rightarrow \left| \begin{matrix}    -x & 0 & 1  \\    y & -y & 1  \\    0 & z & 1-z  \\ \end{matrix} \right|=0\]
    \[\therefore \,\,\,-x(-y+yz-z)+1(+yz)=0\,\,;\]
    \[xy-xyz+xz+yz=0\]
    \[xy+yz+zx=xyz\]         
    \[\therefore \,\,\,\frac{1}{x}+\frac{1}{y}+\frac{1}{z}=1\]
