Correct answer: B, D

Step-by-step Solution:

  1. Find the general equation of plane P₃

    The plane P3P_3P3​ passes through the intersection of planes P1:y=0P_1: y = 0P1​:y=0 and P2:x+z=1P_2: x + z = 1P2​:x+z=1. The equation of any such plane can be written as a linear combination of the equations of P1P_1P1​ and P2P_2P2​.

    The equation of the family of planes is given by P1+λP2=0P_1 + \lambda P_2 = 0P1​+λP2​=0, where λ\lambdaλ is a scalar parameter.

    Substituting the equations of P1P_1P1​ and P2P_2P2​: y+λ(x+z−1)=0y + \lambda (x + z - 1) = 0y+λ(x+z−1)=0 This can be rearranged to the standard form Ax+By+Cz+D=0Ax+By+Cz+D=0Ax+By+Cz+D=0: λx+y+λz−λ=0\lambda x + y + \lambda z - \lambda = 0λx+y+λz−λ=0 The problem states that P3P_3P3​ is different from P1P_1P1​ and P2P_2P2​. If λ=0\lambda = 0λ=0, the equation becomes y=0y=0y=0, which is P1P_1P1​. So, we must have λ≠0\lambda \neq 0λ=0.

  2. Use the first condition to find the value of λ

    The distance of the point (0,1,0)(0, 1, 0)(0,1,0) from the plane P3P_3P3​ is given as 111. The formula for the distance of a point (x0,y0,z0)(x_0, y_0, z_0)(x0​,y0​,z0​) from a plane Ax+By+Cz+D=0Ax+By+Cz+D=0Ax+By+Cz+D=0 is: d=∣Ax0+By0+Cz0+D∣A2+B2+C2d = \frac{|Ax_0 + By_0 + Cz_0 + D|}{\sqrt{A^2 + B^2 + C^2}}d=A2+B2+C2​∣Ax0​+By0​+Cz0​+D∣​ For plane P3:λx+y+λz−λ=0P_3: \lambda x + y + \lambda z - \lambda = 0P3​:λx+y+λz−λ=0 and point (0,1,0)(0, 1, 0)(0,1,0), we have: 1=∣λ(0)+1(1)+λ(0)−λ∣λ2+12+λ21 = \frac{|\lambda(0) + 1(1) + \lambda(0) - \lambda|}{\sqrt{\lambda^2 + 1^2 + \lambda^2}}1=λ2+12+λ2​∣λ(0)+1(1)+λ(0)−λ∣​ 1=∣1−λ∣2λ2+11 = \frac{|1 - \lambda|}{\sqrt{2\lambda^2 + 1}}1=2λ2+1​∣1−λ∣​ Squaring both sides to remove the square root and the absolute value: 12=(1−λ)22λ2+11^2 = \frac{(1 - \lambda)^2}{2\lambda^2 + 1}12=2λ2+1(1−λ)2​ 2λ2+1=(1−λ)22\lambda^2 + 1 = (1 - \lambda)^22λ2+1=(1−λ)2 2λ2+1=1−2λ+λ22\lambda^2 + 1 = 1 - 2\lambda + \lambda^22λ2+1=1−2λ+λ2 2λ2−λ2+2λ+1−1=02\lambda^2 - \lambda^2 + 2\lambda + 1 - 1 = 02λ2−λ2+2λ+1−1=0 λ2+2λ=0\lambda^2 + 2\lambda = 0λ2+2λ=0 λ(λ+2)=0\lambda(\lambda + 2) = 0λ(λ+2)=0 This yields two possible values for λ\lambdaλ: λ=0\lambda = 0λ=0 or λ=−2\lambda = -2λ=−2. As established in Step 1, λ≠0\lambda \neq 0λ=0 because P3P_3P3​ is different from P1P_1P1​. Therefore, we must have λ=−2\lambda = -2λ=−2.

  3. Determine the specific equation of plane P₃

    Substitute λ=−2\lambda = -2λ=−2 into the general equation of P3P_3P3​: −2x+y−2z−(−2)=0-2x + y - 2z - (-2) = 0−2x+y−2z−(−2)=0 −2x+y−2z+2=0-2x + y - 2z + 2 = 0−2x+y−2z+2=0 Multiplying the entire equation by −1-1−1 gives a more conventional form with a positive leading coefficient: 2x−y+2z−2=02x - y + 2z - 2 = 02x−y+2z−2=0

  4. Use the second condition to find the relations for (α, β, γ)

    The distance of a point (α,β,γ)(\alpha, \beta, \gamma)(α,β,γ) from the plane P3:2x−y+2z−2=0P_3: 2x - y + 2z - 2 = 0P3​:2x−y+2z−2=0 is given as 222. Using the distance formula again: 2=∣2(α)−1(β)+2(γ)−2∣22+(−1)2+222 = \frac{|2(\alpha) - 1(\beta) + 2(\gamma) - 2|}{\sqrt{2^2 + (-1)^2 + 2^2}}2=22+(−1)2+22​∣2(α)−1(β)+2(γ)−2∣​ 2=∣2α−β+2γ−2∣4+1+42 = \frac{|2\alpha - \beta + 2\gamma - 2|}{\sqrt{4 + 1 + 4}}2=4+1+4​∣2α−β+2γ−2∣​ 2=∣2α−β+2γ−2∣92 = \frac{|2\alpha - \beta + 2\gamma - 2|}{\sqrt{9}}2=9​∣2α−β+2γ−2∣​ 2=∣2α−β+2γ−2∣32 = \frac{|2\alpha - \beta + 2\gamma - 2|}{3}2=3∣2α−β+2γ−2∣​ 6=∣2α−β+2γ−2∣6 = |2\alpha - \beta + 2\gamma - 2|6=∣2α−β+2γ−2∣

  5. Derive the two possible relations

    The absolute value equation leads to two possible linear equations:

    • Case 1: 2α−β+2γ−2=62\alpha - \beta + 2\gamma - 2 = 62α−β+2γ−2=6 2α−β+2γ−8=02\alpha - \beta + 2\gamma - 8 = 02α−β+2γ−8=0 This matches option (D).

    • Case 2: 2α−β+2γ−2=−62\alpha - \beta + 2\gamma - 2 = -62α−β+2γ−2=−6 2α−β+2γ+4=02\alpha - \beta + 2\gamma + 4 = 02α−β+2γ+4=0 This matches option (B).

Conclusion

Both relations derived from the given conditions are listed in the options. Therefore, options (B) and (D) are the correct answers.
