Question:

A plane which bisects the angle between the two given planes \(2x - y + 2z - 4 = 0\) and \(x + 2y + 2z - 2 = 0\), passes through the point :

Show Hint

Both planes have normals of the same length (3), so the bisecting planes are simply the sum and the difference of the two plane equations.

The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation

Normals: \((2,-1,2)\) and \((1,2,2)\), both of magnitude \(3\).
Bisector planes: \(\frac{2x-y+2z-4}{3} = \pm\frac{x+2y+2z-2}{3}\).
With \(+\): \(x - 3y - 2 = 0\). With \(-\): \(3x + y + 4z - 6 = 0\).
Test the options:
(1,-4,1): \(x-3y-2 = 11\neq 0\); \(3x+y+4z-6 = -3\neq 0\).
(1,4,-1): \(x-3y-2=-13\); \(3x+y+4z-6=-3\). No.
(2,4,1): \(x-3y-2=-12\); \(3x+y+4z-6=8\). No.
(2,-4,1): \(x-3y-2 = 12\neq 0\) but \(3x+y+4z-6 = 6-4+4-6 = 0\). Yes.
Answer: (4) \((2, -4, 1)\)
