Correct Answer - Option 3 :
\(x^2+y^2+z^2 -ax-by-cz=0\)
Concept:
The general equation of sphere is given as:
x2 + y2 + z2 + 2ux + 2vy + 2wz + d = 0
centre at (-u, -v, -w) and
radius \(r = \sqrt {{u^2} + {v^2} + {w^2} - d}\)
Calculation:
Let the equation of the sphere by given by
x2 + y2 + z2 + 2ux + 2vy + 2wz + d = 0 ---(i)
If (1) passes through (0, 0, 0), then d = 0
Putting d = 0 (1) the equation of the sphere becomes.
x2 + y2 + z2 + 2ux + 2vy + 2wz = 0 ---(ii)
If (ii) passes through (a, 0, 0), we get
\(a^2 +0 +0 +2ua +0+0 = 0\)
⇒ \(u\ =-\frac{a}{2}\)
similarly if (2) passes through (0, b, 0) and (0, 0, c) we get
\(v=-\frac{b}{2}\) and \(w=-\frac{c}{2}\)
Putting the values of u, v and w and d in (1), the equation of the required sphere is given by
\(x^2 + y^2 +z^2 - ax - by - cz = 0\)
