Solution

The correct option is D. x+zy=0

We know that,

Distance from xy-plane to the point P(x,y,z)=|z|

Distance from zx-plane to the point P(x,y,z)=|y|

Distance from yz-plane to the point P(x,y,z)=|x|

It is given that,

the sum of its distance from xy-plane and yz-plane remains equal to its distance from zx-plane

|x|+|z|=|y|

x+zy=0
