Solution

The correct option is D xyz=6K3
Let the variable plane forms the tetrahedron having the vertices (P,0,0),(0,Q,0),(0,0,R)
Vertices of tetrahedron are (P,0,0),(0,Q,0),(0,0,R) and (0,0,0)
Centroid of the tetrahedron is =(P4,Q4,R4)(h,k,j)
Volume of tetrahedron =PQR6=64K3
P4.Q4.R4=6K3
h.k.j=6K3
Therefore, locus of the centroid is xyz=6K3.
