3D Coordinate Geometry - Perpendicular Planes

Which of the following planes is perpendicular to the plane that contains the points $(0,0,0), (3,2,2 ), (6,-3,-10)?$

2 x + 3 y - 3z = 12

3 x - y + 2 z = 8

3 x +2 y +2 z = 1

4 x + 2 y + z = 1

Which of the following planes is perpendicular to the plane $-2x + 3 y -5 z = 1?$

-5 x + 2 y + 3 z = 4

x - y + z = 4

2 x -2y - 2z = 3

3 x - 2 y + 5 z = 2

Which of the following planes is perpendicular to the plane $2x - 7 y + 6 z = 6?$

- 7 x + - y - 9 z = 13

- 8 x - 7 y + 4 z = 13

- 13 x + 4 y + 9 z = 4

13 x - 4 y - 13 z = 4

$\alpha, \beta \text{ and } \gamma$ are planes such that $\alpha$ and $\beta$ do not intersect and $\alpha$ and $\gamma$ are perpendicular. Given that lines $l, m \text{ and } n$ lie on planes $\alpha, \beta \text{ and } \gamma,$ respectively, which of the following statement(s) is(are) true?

I. $\beta$ and $\gamma$ are perpendicular.
II. There exist $m$ and $n$ that intersect.
III. If $l \text{ and }m$ are perpendicular to $\gamma$ , then $l // m.$

I only I and II only II and III only I, II and III
