Solution

The correct option is B 4x+3y+5z=50
Let a point (3λ+1,λ+2,2λ+3) of the first line also lies on the second line.
Then, 3λ+131=λ+212=2λ+323λ=1
Hence, the point of intersection P of the two lines is P(4,3,5)
Since, the plane is at greatest distance from origin (O), the line OP is perpendicular to the plane.
D.R's of OP=(4,3,5)
The equation of plane is 4(x4)+3(y3)+5(z5)=0
4x+3y+5z=50
