A plane meets the coordinate axes at A,B,C such that the centroid of the triangle ABC is at G (a, b, c). The equation of the plane ABC is-

A

= 1

B

xa+yb+zc=13\frac { \mathrm { x } } { \mathrm { a } } + \frac { \mathrm { y } } { \mathrm { b } } + \frac { \mathrm { z } } { \mathrm { c } } = \frac { 1 } { 3 }

C
D

None of these

Answer
Explanation

Solution

Let A, B, C be the points (a, 0, 0) (0, b, 0) (0, 0, g) so that

α3\frac { \alpha } { 3 } = a, β3\frac { \beta } { 3 }= b, γ3\frac { \gamma } { 3 }= c.

The equation of the plane ABC is

= 1 Ž = 1.
