JEE Advanced 2007 · Introduction to Three Dimensional Geometry

Consider the planes 3x−6y−2z=153x - 6y - 2z = 15 and 2x+y−2z=52x + y - 2z = 5. Statement - I : The parametric equations of the line of intersection of the given planes are x=3+14tx = 3 + 14t, y=1+2ty = 1 + 2t, z=15tz = 15t because Statement - II : The vector 14i^+2j^+15k^14\hat{i} + 2\hat{j} + 15\hat{k} is parallel to the line of intersection of given planes.

Answer: D. Statement-I is False, Statement-II is True
