Q56 / 90 · JEE Main 2021 (27 Jul Shift 1) · Mathematics
Let a plane pass through the point and contain the line, If distance of the plane from the origin is then is equal to
Correct answer: 3
Solution
The required plane passes through the point
Assume, the equation of the plane is
The line lies on the required plane.
So, we can say that
And
Use cross-multiplication to solve the equations
(Assume)
So,
Put the values of in the required equation of plane we get
So, the distance of the plane from the origin is
Hence,
Hence, the correct answer is 3.
