  Let P(3,2,6) be a point in space and Q be a point on line r=(i^j^+2k^)+μ(3i^+j^+5k^). Then the value of μ

 for which the vector PQ is parallel to the plane x4y+3z=1 is 

a
14
b
-14
c
18
d
-18

detailed solution

Correct option is A

Any point on the line can be taken as Q={(1−3μ),(μ−1),(5μ+2)}PQ→={−3μ−2,μ−3,5μ−4) Now, 1(−3μ−2)−4(μ−3)+3(5μ−4)=0or    −3μ−2−4μ+12+15μ−12=0or    8μ=2 or μ=1/4
