Let the plane passing through the point (-1, 0, -2) and perpendicular to each of the planes 2x + y - z = 2 and x - y - z = 3 be ax + by + cz + 8 = 0. Then the value of a + b + c is equal to:
Let the plane passing through the point (-1, 0, -2) and perpendicular to each of the planes 2x + y - z = 2 and x - y - z = 3 be ax + by + cz + 8 = 0. Then the value of a + b + c is equal to:
Normal to the required plane is perpendicular to the normals of the given planes.
n = n? * n? = (2i + j - k) * (i - j - k) = -2i + j - 3k.
Equation of the plane is -2 (x+1) + 1 (y-0) - 3 (z+2) = 0
-2x - 2 + y - 3z - 6 = 0
-2x + y - 3z - 8 = 0
2x - y + 3z + 8 = 0
Comparing with ax + by + cz + 8 = 0, we g

(a – 1) × 2 + (b – 2) × 5 + (g – 3) × 1 = 0
2a + 5b + g – 15 = 0
Also, P lie on line
a + 1 = 2λ
b – 2 = 5λ
g – 4 = λ
2 (2λ – 1) + 5 (5λ + 2) + λ + 4 – 15 = 0
4λ + 25λ + λ – 2 + 10 + 4 – 15 = 0
30λ – 3 = 0
a + b + g = (2λ – 1) + (5λ + 2) + (λ + 4)

Take
x = 2λ + 1, y = 3λ + 2, z = 4λ + 3
= (α − 2)
Now,
(α − 2) ⋅ 2 + (β − 3) ⋅3 + (γ − 4) ⋅ 4 = 0
2α − 4 + 3β − 9 + 4γ −16 = 0
⇒ 2α + 3β + 4γ = 29
