What is the condition for the plane ax

+b y+c z+d=0

to be perpendicular to xy-plane?

View answer and explanation

Correct option: C

\mathrm{c}=0

Option C (c=0) is correct because for the plane to be perpendicular to the xy-plane, its normal vector must be orthogonal to the normal vector of the xy-plane, which is

\hat{k}
