A plane P meets the coordinate axes at and C respectively. The centroid of is given to be ( ). Then the equation of the line through this centroid and perpendicular to the plane P is:
  1. (A)
  2. (B)
  3. (C)✓ Correct
  4. (D)

Answer: (C)

Solution

Let the plane meet the axes at , , . Its centroid fixes , , , so the plane is , i.e. , with normal direction . The line through perpendicular to the plane therefore has direction ratios : .
