Solution
Equation of the plane passing through two points (x1, y1, z1) and (x2, y2, z2) with its normal’s d’ratios is
a(x – x1) + b(y – y1) + c(z – z1) = 0 ......(i)
If the plane is passing through the given points (2, 1, – 1) and (– 1, 3, 4)
Then a(x2 – x1) + b(y2 – y1) + c(z2 – z1) = 0
⇒ a(– 1 – 2) + b(3 – 1) + c(4 + 1) =
⇒ – 3a + 2b + 5c = 0 ......(ii)
Since the required plane is perpendicular to the given plane x – 2y + 4z = 10
Then 1.a – 2.b + 4.c = 10 ......(iii)
Solving (ii) and (iii) we get,
`"a"/(8 + 10) = (-"b")/(-12 - 5) = "c"/(6 - 2) = lambda`
a = 18λ, b = 17λ, c = 4λ
Hence, the required plane is
18λ(x – 2) + 17λ(y – 1) + 4λ(z + 1) = 0
⇒ 18x – 36 + 17y – 17 + 4z + 4 = 0
⇒ 18x + 17y + 4z – 49 = 0
