A. Equation of the line passing through the point (1, 2, 3) and parallel to the vector 3i^+2j^−2k^3\hat{i} + 2\hat{j} - 2\hat{k} is x−13=y−22=y−3−2\frac{x-1}{3} = \frac{y-2}{2} = \frac{y-3}{-2}.

B. Equation of line passing through (1, 2, 3) and parallel to the line given by x+33=4−y5=z+86\frac{x+3}{3} = \frac{4-y}{5} = \frac{z+8}{6} is x−13=y−25=z+36\frac{x-1}{3} = \frac{y-2}{5} = \frac{z+3}{6}.

C. Equation of line passing through the origin and (5, -2, 3) is x5=y−2=z3\frac{x}{5} = \frac{y}{-2} = \frac{z}{3}.

D. Equation of plane passing through the point (1, 2, 3) and perpendicular to the line with direction ratio's 2, 3, -1 is 2(x−1)+3(y−2)−1(z−3)=02(x-1)+3(y-2)-1(z-3) = 0.

E. Equation of plane with intercepts 2, 3 and 4 on x, y and z-axis respectively is 2x+3y+4z=12x + 3y + 4z = 1.

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 2

A: With direction (3,2,−2)(3,2,-2) through (1,2,3)(1,2,3): x−13=y−22=z−3−2\frac{x-1}{3}=\frac{y-2}{2}=\frac{z-3}{-2}, correct in intent.

B: Direction ratios of given line are (3,−5,6)(3,-5,6); the option's denominators don't match - incorrect.

C: Direction (5,−2,3)(5,-2,3) through origin - correct.

D: Standard form of plane - correct.

E: Should be x2+y3+z4=1\frac{x}{2}+\frac{y}{3}+\frac{z}{4}=1, i.e. 6x+4y+3z=126x+4y+3z=12, not 2x+3y+4z=12x+3y+4z=1 - incorrect.

Correct: A, C, D.

Note: The last term in A reads 'y-3' in the original; we have read it as 'z-3' to match the intended line equation.
