Consider the planes P 1 :2x -y + z = 6 and P 2 :x + 2y - z = 4 having normals 
and 
respectively. The distance of the origin from theplane passing through the point (1,1,1) and whose normal is perpendicular to N 1 and N 2 is
A
units
B
units
C
units
D
units
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
B
units
(given)
(given)
normal of required plane is 
So, equation of the required plane is
-x + 3y + 5z - 7 = 0
x-3y-5z + 7 = 0
So, distance from (0,0, 0) is =
