                    A vector\[\overset{\to }{\mathop{\operatorname{n}}}\,\] is inclined to \[x-\]axis at\[{{45}^{0}}\], to\[y-\]axis at \[{{60}^{0}}\] and at an acute angle to\[z-\]axis.\[\operatorname{If}\]\[\overset{\to }{\mathop{\operatorname{n}}}\,\] is a normal to a plane passing through the point \[(\sqrt{2},-1,1),\] then the equation of the plane is :                   JEE Main Online Paper (Held On 09 April 2013)

    A)                 \[4\sqrt{2}x+7y+z=2\]                

    B)                 \[\sqrt{2}x+y+z=2\]                

    C)                 \[3\sqrt{2}x-4y-3z=7\]                

    D)                  \[\sqrt{2}x-y-z=2\]                

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

                    \[\because \] \[{{\cos }^{2}}\alpha +{{\cos }^{2}}\beta +{{\cos }^{2}}\gamma =1\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[{{\cos }^{2}}45+{{\cos }^{2}}60+{{\cos }^{2}}\gamma =1\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[{{\cos }^{2}}\gamma =1-\frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{4}=1-\frac{3}{4}=\frac{1}{4}\Rightarrow \]\[\cos \gamma =\frac{1}{2}\] \[\therefore \] Direction Ratio?s of normal to the plane is                 \[\angle \cos {{45}^{o}};\,\cos {{60}^{o}},\,\frac{1}{2}>=<\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}},\frac{1}{2},\,\frac{1}{2}>\] \[\therefore \]  Equation of plane passing through \[(\sqrt{2},\,-1,\,1)\]                 \[\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}(x-\sqrt{2})+\frac{1}{2}(y+1)+\frac{1}{2}(z-1)=0\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[2(x-\sqrt{2})+\sqrt{2}(y+1)+\sqrt{2}(z-1)=0\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[\sqrt{2}(x-\sqrt{2})+(y+1)+d(z-1)=0\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[\sqrt{2}x-2+y+1+z-1=0\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[\sqrt{2}x+y+z=2\]
