  1. A.$$x-2y+2z-3=0$$correct
  2. B.$$x-2y+2z+1=0$$
  3. C.$$x-2y+2z-1=0$$
  4. D.$$x-2y+2z+5=0$$

Answer

A. $$x-2y+2z-3=0$$

Explanation

Given equation of a plane is $$x - 2y + 2z - 5 = 0$$ So, Equation of parallel plane is given by $$x - 2y + 2z + d = 0$$ Now, it is given that distance from origin to the parallel planes is $$1.$$ $$\therefore$$ $$\left| {{d \over {\sqrt {{1^2} + {2^2} + {2^3}} }}} \right| = 1 \Rightarrow d = \pm 3$$ So equation of required plane $$x - 2y + 2z \pm 3 = 0$$
