Problem 8
A variable plane is parallel to the plane \(\frac{x}{a}+\frac{y}{b}+\frac{z}{c}=0\) and meets the axes in \(A, B\) and \(C\). Prove that, the circle \(A B C\) lies on the cone \(y z\left(\frac{b}{c}+\frac{c}{a}\right)+z x\left(\frac{c}{a}+\frac{a}{c}\right)+x y\left(\frac{a}{b}+\frac{b}{a}\right)=0 .\)
