Statement 1: A plane passes
through the point `A(2,1,-3)dot`
If distance of this plane from origin is
maximum, then its equation is `2x+y-3z=14.`
Statement 2: If the plane
passing through the point `A( vec a)`
is at maximum distance from origin, then
normal to the plane is vector ` vec adot`
A. Both the statements are true, and Statement 2 is the correct explanation for Statement 1.
B. Both the Statements are true, but Statement 2 is not the correct explanation for Statement 1.
C. Statement 1 is true and Statement 2 is false.
D. Statement 1 is false and Statement 2 is true.

Correct Answer - b
The direction cosines of segment OA are
`" "(2)/(sqrt(14)), (1)/(sqrt(14)) and (-3)/(sqrt(14))`.
`" "OA= sqrt(14)`
This means `OA` will be normal to the plane and the equation of the plane is `2x+y-3z=14`.
