Options:
  • A x-4y-2z+3=0
  • B x-4y-2z+9=0
  • C 2x-3y+4z+9=0
  • D 3y+z-13=0

The correct answer is: 3y+z-13=0

Equation of P3 is P1+λP2=0
x1+2λ+y1-λ+z2+3λ-4+5λ=0
AB=<2,-1,3>
a normal vector to plane P3 is <1+2λ,1-λ,2+3λ>
If AB is parallel to P3=0
21+2λ-11-λ+32+3λ=0
2+4λ-1+λ+6+9λ=0
14λ+7=0
λ=-12
Equation of required plane is 0+y×32+z12-132=0

i.e. 3y+z-13=0
