Q38 / 59 · NEST (NISER) 2020 (Session 1) · Mathematics

For $\mathbf{x}=\left(x_1, x_2, x_3\right) \in \mathbb{R}^3$, define $|\mathbf{x}|=\sqrt{x_1^2+x_2^2+x_3^2}$. For $\mathbf{a}=(1,4,4)$ and $\mathbf{b}=$ $(1,0,1)$, the maximum value of $|\mathrm{x}|$ satisfying $|\mathrm{x}-\mathrm{a}|=2|\mathrm{x}-\mathrm{b}|$ is

  • A
    $\frac{5}{3}$
  • Correct answer
    B
    $5$
  • C
    $\frac{\sqrt{13}}{3}+5$
  • D
    $\frac{2 \sqrt{13}}{3}+5$

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
