if from a point (f,g,h) rs PL, PM be drawn to yz &zx planes then the eqn. to the plane olm is
 
1.  x  +   y  - z                                  
    ---      ----   -----                                    
     f        g      h
 
2.  x  +   y  +  z
    ---      ----   -----
     f        g      h
 
 
3.  x  - y  +  z
    ---      ----   -----
     f        g      h
 
 
 
4. -x  +   y  +  z
    ---      ----   -----
     f        g      h

OK lets see..

The unit vector perpendicular to yz plane is i^ and the unit vector perpendicular to zx plane is j^ . So equations of line perp. to yz & zx plane and passing through P are

x-f = y-g/0 = z-h/0   and x-f/0 = y-g = z-h/0

So any points on these lines are ( + f , g , h )  and  (f,  + g , h)

Now since these points intersect the above given planes, we get = -f and = -g ( Because in yz plane x=0 and in zx plane y=0)

So finally the points are ( 0, g, h) and ( f , 0 ,h)

And you have the origin as (0,0,0).So equation of plane passing through 3 points can be found out easily now.

Answer is coming out to be OPTION A)

Let us learn to dream, gentlemen, and then perhaps we shall learn the truth.
