Solution

The correct option is C
Given planes are
a1x+b1x+c1x+d1=0....(i)
a2x+b2x+c2x+d2=0....(ii)
Let P(x,y,z) be a point on the plane bisecting the angle between these planes.
Let PL and PM be the length of perpendiculars from P to planes (i) and (ii).
So, PL = PM
Or ∣ ∣a1x+b1x+c1x+d1a21+b21+c21∣ ∣ =∣ ∣(a2x+b2x+c2x+d2)(a22+b22+c22)∣ ∣
Or a1x+b1x+c1x+d1(a21+b21+c21)=±(a2x+b2x+c2x+d2)(a22+b22+c22)
This is the equation of planes bisecting the angles between the planes (i) and (ii).
