Solution

The correct option is C

3x + 7y + 11z = 100


Since, the foot of the perpendicular to the plane is P(2, 4, 6). Therefore, (2, 4, 6) is the point on the plane.

So, equation of the plane passing through the point (2,.4, 6) is:

a(x - 2) + b(y - 4) + c(z - 6) = 0.

Now, the direction ratios of the perpendicular line AP are 3, 7, 11.

Therefore, the required plane is:

3(x - 2) + 7(y - 4) + 11(z - 6) = 0

i.e, 3x + 7y + 11z = 100.
