    A plane makes intercepts a, b, c at A, B, C on the coordinate axes respectively. If the centroid of the\[\Delta ABC\]is at (3, 2, 1), then the equation of the plane is

    A)  \[x+2y+3z=9\]

    B)  \[2x-3y-6z=18\]

    C)  \[2x+3y+6z=18\]

    D)  \[2x+y+6z=18\]

    E)  \[2x+3y+6z=9\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Coordinates of A, B and C are (a, 0, 0), (0, b, 0) and (0, 0, c) respectively Since, centroid of\[\Delta ABC\]is (3, 2, 1). \[\therefore \]  \[\frac{a+0+0}{3}=3\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[a=9\] And        \[\frac{0+b+0}{3}=2\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[b=6\] And        \[\frac{0+0+c}{3}=1\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[c=3\] \[\therefore \]Equation of required plane is                 \[\frac{x}{a}+\frac{y}{b}+\frac{z}{c}=1\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[\frac{x}{9}+\frac{y}{6}+\frac{z}{3}=1\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[2x+3y+6z=18\]
