Solution
The correct option is D (7, -1, 4). If n be the normal of the plane ABC, then
n=→AB×→AC=−3i−8j−k Plane is (r−a).n=0or r.n=a.nor r.(3i+8j+k)=17 ...(1) The given line is r=(1+2t)i+(−1)j+(1+t)k=0 ...(2) For point of intersection we have from (1) and (2) 3(1+2t)−8+(1+t)=17 ∴7t=21 or t=3 putting for t in (2) the point of intersection is given by r=7i−j+4k. ∴ Its co-ordinates are (7,−1,4).
