    Let S be the set of all real values of \[\lambda \] such that a plane passing through the points \[(-{{\lambda }^{2}},1,1),\]\[(1,-{{\lambda }^{2}},1)\]and \[(1,1,-{{\lambda }^{2}})\]also passes through the point (\[-1,\text{ }-1,1\]). Then S is equal to [JEE Main Online Paper Held On 12-Jan-2019 Evening]

    A) \[\{1,-1\}\]                                

    B) \[\{3,-3\}\]

    C) \[\{\sqrt{3}\}\]                          

    D)   \[\{\sqrt{3},-\sqrt{3}\}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Equation of plane passing through the points \[(-{{\lambda }^{2}},1,1),(1,-{{\lambda }^{2}},1)\]and \[(1,1,-{{\lambda }^{2}})\]is \[\left| \begin{matrix}    x-{{\lambda }^{2}} & y-1 & z-1  \\    1+{{\lambda }^{2}} & -{{\lambda }^{2}}-1 & 0  \\    1+{{\lambda }^{2}} & 0 & -{{\lambda }^{2}}-1  \\ \end{matrix} \right|=0\] \[\Rightarrow \]\[(x+{{\lambda }^{2}}){{({{\lambda }^{2}}+1)}^{2}}+(y-1){{(1+{{\lambda }^{2}})}^{2}}\]\[+(z-1){{(1+{{\lambda }^{2}})}^{2}}=0\] \[\Rightarrow \]\[{{(1+{{\lambda }^{2}})}^{2}}[x+{{\lambda }^{2}})+(y-1+(z-1)]=0\] Since, this plane is also passes through the point (\[-1,\,-1,\,\,1\]). \[\therefore \]\[{{(1+{{\lambda }^{2}})}^{2}}[(-1+{{\lambda }^{2}})+(-1-1)]=0\] \[\Rightarrow \]\[{{(1+{{\lambda }^{2}})}^{2}}({{\lambda }^{2}}-3)=0\] So, real values of\[\lambda \] are\[~\pm \sqrt{3}.\] \[\therefore \]\[S=\left\{ \sqrt{3},-\sqrt{3} \right\}\]
