If a plane meets the coordinate axes at A, B and C such that the centroid of the triangle is (1, 2, 4), then the equation of the plane is

  • x + 2y + 4z = 12

  • 4x + 2y + z = 12

  • x + 2y + 4z = 3

  • 4x + 2y + z = 3


B.

4x + 2y + z = 12

Let the equation of the plane is,

xα + yβ + zγ = 1

Then, Aα, 0, 0, β0, β, 0 and 0, 0, γ are the points on the coordinate axes.

Since, the centroid of the triangle is (1, 2, 4).

   α3 = 1  α = 3  β3 = 2  β = 6and γ3 = 4  γ = 12 The equation of the plane is,   x3 + y6 + z12 = 1 4x + 2y + z = 12
