Find the equation of the plane which contains the line of intersection of the planes r(i^+2j^+3k^)\vec{r} \cdot (\hat{i} + \hat{2j} + \hat{3k}) - 4 = 0 , r(2i^+j^k^)\vec{r} \cdot (\hat{2i} + \hat{j} - \hat{k}) + 5 = 0 and which is perpendicular to the plane r(5i^+3j^6k^)\vec{r} \cdot (\hat{5i} + \hat{3j} - \hat{6k}) + 8 = 0
Solution:  
The equations of the given planes are
r(i^+2j^+3k^)\vec{r} \cdot (\hat{i} + \hat{2j} + \hat{3k}) - 4 = 0 ... (1)
r(2i^+j^k^)\vec{r} \cdot (\hat{2i} + \hat{j} - \hat{k}) + 5 = 0 ... (2)
The equation of the plane passing through the line of intersection of the given planes is
[r(i^+2j^+3k^)4][\vec{r} \cdot (\hat{i} + \hat{2j} + \hat{3k}) - 4] + λ [r(2i^+j^k^)+5][\vec{r} \cdot (\hat{2i} + \hat{j} - \hat{k}) + 5] = 0
r\vec{r} [(1 + 2λ) i^\hat{i} + (2 + λ) j^\hat{j} + (3 - λ) k^\hat{k}] + (- 4 + 5λ) = 0 ... (3)
The plane in equation (3) is perpendicular to the plane, r(5i^+3j^6k^)\vec{r} \cdot (\hat{5i} + \hat{3j} - \hat{6k}) + 8 = 0
∴ 5 (1 + 2λ) + 3 (2 + λ) - 6 (3 - λ) = 0
⇒ 5 + 10λ + 6 + 3λ - 18 + 6λ = 0
⇒ 19λ - 7 = 0
⇒ λ = 719\frac{7}{19}
Substituting λ = 719\frac{7}{19} in equation (3),
r[3319i^+4519j^+5019k^]\vec{r} \cdot \left[\frac{33}{19}\hat{i} + \frac{45}{19}\hat{j} + \frac{50}{19}\hat{k}\right] - 4119\frac{41}{19} = 0
r(33i^+45j^+50k^)\vec{r} \cdot (\hat{33i} + \hat{45j} + \hat{50k}) - 41 = 0
This is the vector equation of the required plane.
