    If the distance between planes, \[4x-2y-4z+1=0\]and \[2y-4z+d=0\] is 7, then d is:   [JEE Main Online Paper ( Held On 12 Apirl  2014 )

    A) \[41  or  - 42\]

    B) \[42  or  - 43\]

    C) \[- 41  or  43\]

    D) \[- 42  or  44\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Given two planes : x - ay - b = 0 and cy - z + d = 0 Let, l, m, n be the direction ratio of the required line. Since the required line is perpendicular to normal of both the plane, therefore \[l-am=0\]and \[cm-n=0\] \[\therefore \]\[\frac{l}{a-0}=\frac{m}{0+1}=\frac{n}{c-0}\] Hence, d.R of the required line are a, 1, c. Hence, options (c) and (d) are rejected. Now, the point (a + b, 1, c + d) satisfy the equation of the two given planes. (a) Option (b) is correct. (c) Given planes are\[4x-2y-4z+1=0\] and \[4x-2y-4z+d=0\] They are parallel. Distance between them is \[\pm 7=\frac{d-1}{\sqrt{16+4+16}}\] \[\Rightarrow \]\[\frac{d-1}{6}=\pm 7\] \[\Rightarrow \]\[d=42+1\]or\[-42+1\] i.e. \[d=-41\]or 43.
