$A$ point $P(a, a, a)$ lies on a line passing through the origin and making equal angles with the axes,where $a$ is a constant. $A$ plane passes through $P$ and is perpendicular to $OP$. If this plane makes intercepts on the axes,what is the sum of the reciprocals of these intercepts?

  • A
    $1/a$
  • B
    $3/(2a)$
  • C
    $3a/2$
  • D
    None of these
