5x – 3y + 2z + 13 = 0

C

3x – 2y + 5z + 13 = 0

D

3x – 5y + 2z + 13 = 0

Correct Answer :

3x – 5y + 2z + 13 = 0

Solution :

The correct option is: 3x – 5y + 2z + 13 = 0

Step-by-step Explanation:

1. Understanding Parallel Planes:
Two planes are parallel if they have the same normal vector. The general equation of a plane is given by:
A x + B y + C z + D = 0
where the vector ( A , B , C ) represents the normal vector to the plane. Therefore, any plane parallel to the given plane:
3 x 5 y + 2 z = 11
will have the same coefficients for x, y, and z, but a different constant term. Thus, we can write the equation of the parallel plane as:
3 x 5 y + 2 z + d = 0
where d is a constant to be determined.

2. Finding the Constant d:
We are given that the required plane passes through the point ( 1 , 2 , 3 ) . This means the coordinates x = 1 , y = 2 , and z = 3 must satisfy the equation of the plane. Substituting these values into our equation:

3 ( 1 ) 5 ( 2 ) + 2 ( 3 ) + d = 0

Simplify the terms:
3 10 6 + d = 0
13 + d = 0
d = 13

3. Writing the Final Equation:
Now, substitute the value of d = 13 back into the equation of the parallel plane:
3 x 5 y + 2 z + 13 = 0
This perfectly matches the correct option.
