The correct answer is: x-31=y1=z-5-1

Given,

A plane P has the points i^, j^ and i^+ j^+k^

Now let equation of plane be ax+by+cx+d=0,

Now satisfying the given point one by one we get,

a+d=0, b+d & a+b+c+d=0

a=-d, b=-d & c=d

Now putting the value in equation we get equation of plane as x+y-z-1=0

Now direction ratio of normal to plane is i^+ j^-k^

So equation of line passing through 3,0,5 with direction ratio 1,1,-1 will be x-31=y1=z-5-1
