Let A is set of all possible planes passing through four vertices of given cube. Find number of ways of selecting four planes from set A, which are linearly dependent and one common point. (If planes P1=0, P2=0,P3=0 andP4=0 can be written as aP1+bP2+cP3+dP4=0, where all a, b, c, d are not equal to zero, then we say planes P1,P2,P3,P4 are linearly dependent planes).
