Correct answer
A
Step-by-step explanation
Since the plane bisects the line joining the points and then the plane passes through the midpoint of the line which is :
As plane cuts the line segment at right angle, so the direction cosines of the normal of the plane are So the equation of the plane is :
As plane passes through so
Therefore, equation of plane is :
Now, only satisfies the given plane as
