Solution
The correct option is Cx−axis The normal to the plane determined by →a,→b is along →a×→b =∣∣
∣
∣∣^i^j^k111−111∣∣
∣
∣∣ =^i(1−1)−^j(1+1)+^k(1+1)=−2^j+2^k=−2(^j−^j) The normal to the plane determined by →c,→d is along →c×→d =∣∣
∣
∣∣^i^j^k1−111−11∣∣
∣
∣∣ =^i(1−1)−^j(−1−1)+^k(1+1)=2^j+2^k=2(^j+^k) The line of intersection of the two planes is along (→a×→b).(→c×→d) =∣∣
∣
∣∣^i^j^k0−22022∣∣
∣
∣∣ =^i(−4−4)−^j(0−0)+^k(0−0) =−8^i Which is along x− axis
