Equation of plane is 2(x2)+a(ya)+4(z4)=0
2x+ay+4z=20+a2    ...(1)
x20+a22+y20+a2a+y20+a24=1
volume of tetrahedron OABC is =1620+a2220+a2a20+a24=144 (given)
20+a23=a.48.144=a12.4122=4a123=123(4a)     ...(2)
Eq (2) is satisfied for a = 2
So plane P is  2x+2y+4z=24x+y+2z=12    ...(3)
Check options (3,0,4) not satisfies (3)
