    The equation of the plane through the intersection of the planes \[x+y+z=1\] and \[2x+3y-z+4=0\] parallel to \[x-\]axis is [Orissa JEE 2003]

    A)            \[y-3z+6=0\]

    B)            \[3y-z+6=0\]

    C)            \[y+3z+6=0\]

    D)            \[3y-2z+6=0\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

               The equation of the plane through the intersection of the plane \[x+y+z=1\] and  \[2x+3y-z+4=0\] is                 \[(x+y+z-1)\,+\lambda (2x+3y-z+4)=0\]            or  \[(1+2\lambda )x+(1+3\lambda )y+(1-\lambda )z+4\lambda -1=0\]            Since the plane parallel to x-axis,            \[\therefore \]  \[1+2\lambda =0\Rightarrow \lambda =-\frac{1}{2}\]            Hence, the required equation will be \[y-3z+6=0\].
