Correct answer
A 4x+3y+5z=50

Step-by-step explanation

Line  

L1:x-13=y-21=z-32=λ

L2:x-31=y-12=z-23=μ

⇒   x=3λ+1andx=μ+3     y=λ+2 y=2μ+1      z=2λ+3 z=3μ+2

3λ+1=μ+33λ-μ=2

λ+2=2μ+1λ-2μ=-1

2λ+3=3μ+22λ-3μ=-1

Solving μ=1, λ=1

  Point of intersection P4,3,5 and D.R. of normal is (largest distance is normal distance which is OP4,3,5.

Equation of plane 4x+3y+5z+d=0 this passes through the point  4,3,5

⇒ 4×4+3×3+5×5+d=0

⇒ d=-50

So, equation of plane is 4x+3y+5z50=0
