The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

We have line, $\frac{x-1}{3}=\frac{y+2}{4}=\frac{z-3}{-2}=\lambda$ ...(1)
General point $P$ on the line is,
$P =(3 \lambda+1,4 \lambda-2,-2 \lambda+3)$
since line (1) intersect plane $2 x-y+3 z-1=0$,
Assume it intersects at a point $P$
Therefore,
$2(3 \lambda+1)-(4 \lambda-2)+3(-2 \lambda+3)-1=0 $
$6 \lambda+2-4 \lambda+2-6 \lambda+9-1=0 $
$4 \lambda=12$
$\lambda=3$
Therefore,
$P =(10,10,-3))$

Plane

A  surface comprising all the straight lines that join any two points lying on it is called a plane in geometry. A plane is defined through any of the following uniquely:

  • Using three non-collinear points
  • Using a point and a line not on that line
  • Using two distinct intersecting lines
  • Using two separate parallel lines

Properties of a Plane:

  • In a three-dimensional space, if there are two different planes than they are either parallel to each other or intersecting in a line.
  • A line could be parallel to a plane, intersects the plane at a single point or is existing in the plane.
  • If there are two different lines that are perpendicular to the same plane then they must be parallel to each other.
  • If there are two separate planes which are perpendicular to the same line then they must be parallel to each other.
