    The equation of the plane containing the line\[r=i+j+\lambda 2i+j+4k)\]is

    A)  \[r.(i+2j-k)=3\]

    B)  \[r.(i+2j-k)=6\]

    C)  \[r.(-i-2j+k)=3\]

    D)  None of the above

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

     The position vector of any point on the given line is \[i+j+\lambda (2i+j+4k)\] or      \[(2\lambda +1)i+(\lambda +1)\hat{j}+4\lambda k\] which lies on\[r.(i+2j+k)=3\] Hence, the plane\[r.(i+2j-k)=3\] contains the given line.
