The equation of the plane passing through the origin and containing the line

x - 15 = y - 24 = z - 35 is

  • x + 5y - 3z = 0

  • x - 5y + 3z = 0

  • x - 5y - 3z = 0

  • 3x - 10y + 5z = 0


B.

x - 5y + 3z = 0

The equation of the plane through given line is

A(x - 1) + B(y - 2) + C(z - 3) = 0        ...(i)

Where A, B and C are the DR's of the normal to the plane.

Since, the straight line lie on the plane.

 DR's of the plane is perpendicular to the line, i.e.,

5A + 4B + 5C = 0                              ...(ii)

Since, it passes through (0, 0, 0), we get

  - A - 2B - 3C = 0
 A - 2B - 3C = 0                            ...(iii)

On solving Eqs. (ii) and (iii), we get

A2 = B- 10 = C6

From Eq. (i),

  2(x - 1) - 10(y - 2) + 6(z - 3) = 0

 2x - 2 - 10y + 20 + 6z - 18 = 0

                     2x - 10y + 6z = 0

                         x - 5y + 3z = 0
