Solutions:
1. Ans.B
Sol. The equation of the plane passing through the point of intersection of the given planes is
(2x + 3y + z 1) + k (x + 5y 2z + 7) = 0
x (2 + k) + y (3 + 5k) + z (1 2k) + (7k 1) = 0
This plane is parallel to xaxis
Therefore 1 (2 + k) + 0 (3 + 5k) + 0 (1 2k) = 0
k=2
Hence required equation is 7y + 5z 15 = 0
7y 5z + 15 = 0.

3. Ans.C
Sol. The required line passes through (–1, 2, –3) and is perpendicular to 2x + 3y + z + 5 = 0.
So it is parallel to the normal to the plane whose d.r.s are 2, 3, 1.
x 1 y 2 z 3
d.r.s of the line 2, 3, 1 and so the required equation is .

4.Ans. A
Sol. If l, m, n be the d.c.’s of the line, them as it lies in both the given planes it is perpendicular to their normals.
i.e. l –m + 2n = 0 & 3l + m + n = 0

5.Ans. C
Sol. The equation of angle bisector of given plane is
x=z
i.e. x + z = 0 or x z = 0 … (1)
equation of plane parallel to (1) is
x + z + d = 0 or x z + d1 = 0
it passes through (1, 2, 3)
therefore, d = 4 or d1 = 2
so, (x + z 4) (x z + 2) = 0
