Solution:
As we know that the equation of the plane passing through the line of intersection of two planes are
(a1x + b1y + c1z + d1) + λ(a2x + b2y + c2z + d2) = 0
So, the equation of the plane passes through the intersection of the planes x – 2y + z = 1 and 2x + y + z = 8 is
(1 + 2λ)x + (-2 + λ)y + (1 + λ)z – 1 – 8λ = 0 ….(1)
Also, given that this plane is parallel to the line whose direction ratios are proportional to 1, 2, 1.
