1. Answer (1) We observe that the line segment joining the points
A(3, 1, 6) and B(1, 3, 4) has direction ratios 2, –2,
The point (2, 1, –2) is on the plane x + 3y – Dz +
2 which one proportional to 1, –1, 1 the direction
E=0
ratios of the normal to the plane. Hence statement-
Hence 2 + 3 + 2D + E = 0 2 is true.
2D + E = –5 ... (i) 4. Answer (3)
Also 1(3) + 3(–5) + –D(2) = 0 Maximum number of triangle
