    The plane \[ax+by=0\] is rotated through an angle \[\alpha \] about its line of intersection with the plane\[z=0\], then the equation to the plane in new position is

    A) \[ax-by\pm z\sqrt{{{a}^{2}}+{{b}^{2}}}\cdot \cot \alpha =0\]

    B) \[ax-by\pm z\sqrt{{{a}^{2}}+{{b}^{2}}}\cdot \tan \alpha =0\]

    C) \[ax+by\pm z\sqrt{{{a}^{2}}+{{b}^{2}}}\cdot \cot \alpha =0\]

    D) \[ax+by\pm z\sqrt{{{a}^{2}}+{{b}^{2}}}\cdot \tan \alpha =0\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Given planes are                 \[ax+by=0\]                                       ... (i) and        \[z=0\]                                                  ... (ii) \[\therefore \]Equation of any plane passing through the line of intersection of planes (i) and (ii) may be taken as                 \[ax+by+Kz=0\]                                ... (iii) The \[DC's\] of a normal to the plane (iii) are \[\frac{a}{\sqrt{{{a}^{2}}+{{b}^{2}}+{{K}^{2}}}},\,\,\frac{b}{\sqrt{{{a}^{2}}+{{b}^{2}}+{{K}^{2}}}},\,\,\frac{K}{\sqrt{{{a}^{2}}+{{b}^{2}}+{{K}^{2}}}}\]The \[DC's\] of a normal to the plane (i) are                 \[\frac{a}{\sqrt{{{a}^{2}}+{{b}^{2}}}},\,\,\frac{b}{\sqrt{{{a}^{2}}+{{b}^{2}}}}=0\] Since, the angle between the planes (i) and (ii) is\[\alpha \]. \[\therefore \]  \[\cos \alpha =\frac{a\cdot a+b\cdot b+c\cdot c}{\sqrt{{{a}^{2}}+{{b}^{2}}+{{K}^{2}}}\sqrt{{{a}^{2}}+{{b}^{2}}}}\] On putting the value of K in Eq. (iii), we get the equation of plane as                 \[ax+by\pm z\sqrt{{{a}^{2}}+{{b}^{2}}}\tan \alpha =0\]
