    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Given plane is \[\Rightarrow \]\[\overrightarrow{r}=r(\hat{i}+2\hat{j}-4\hat{k})+t(3\hat{i}+4\hat{j}-4\hat{k})\]                                                 \[+(1-t)(2\hat{i}-7\hat{j}-3\hat{k})\] \[\Rightarrow \]\[\overrightarrow{r}=(2\hat{i}-7\hat{j}+3\hat{k})+s(\hat{i}+2\hat{j}-4\hat{k})\]                                                 \[+t(\hat{i}+11\hat{j}-\hat{k})\] Comparing it with the equation of plane \[\overrightarrow{r}=\overrightarrow{a}+\lambda \overrightarrow{b}+\mu \overrightarrow{c},\]we get                 \[\overrightarrow{b}=\hat{i}+2\hat{j}-4\hat{k}\] and        \[\overrightarrow{c}=\hat{i}+11\hat{j}-\hat{k}\] Now,     \[\overrightarrow{b}\times \overrightarrow{c}=\left| \begin{matrix}    {\hat{i}} & {\hat{j}} & {\hat{k}}  \\    1 & 2 & -4  \\    1 & 11 & -1  \\ \end{matrix} \right|\]                 \[=42\hat{i}-3\hat{j}+9\hat{k}\] \[\therefore \]Parametric form of plane is                 \[\overrightarrow{r}.(\overrightarrow{b}\times \overrightarrow{c})=\overrightarrow{a}.(\overrightarrow{b}\times \overrightarrow{c})\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[\overrightarrow{r}.(42\hat{i}-3\hat{j}+9\hat{k})\]                 \[=(2\hat{i}-7\hat{j}+3\hat{k}).(42\hat{i}-3\hat{j}+9\hat{k})\] which is of the form                 \[\overrightarrow{r}.\overrightarrow{r}=d\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[\overrightarrow{r}=42\hat{i}-3\hat{j}+9\hat{k}\] Now, the line given in option (a) is \[\overrightarrow{r}=(-\hat{i}+\hat{j}+\hat{k})+t(-\hat{i}-2\hat{j}+4\hat{k})\] Comparing it with\[\overrightarrow{r}=\overrightarrow{p}+t\overrightarrow{q},\]we get                 \[\overrightarrow{q}=(-\hat{i}-2\hat{j}+4\hat{k})\] Since, \[\overrightarrow{q}.\overrightarrow{n}=(-\hat{i}-2\hat{j}+4\hat{k}).(42\hat{i}-3\hat{j}+9\hat{k})\] \[=-42+6+36=0\] Hence, the line given in option (a) is parallel to the given plane.
