Q33 / 90 · JEE Main 2023 (31 Jan Shift 2) · Mathematics

Let the plane P:8x+α1y+α2z+12=0 be parallel to the line L:x+22=y-33=z+45. If the intercept of P on the y-axis is 1 , then the distance between P and L is

  • A
    27
  • B
    614
  • C
    72
  • Correct answer
    D
    14

Solution

Given,

The plane P:8x+α1y+α2z+12=0 be parallel to the line L:x+22=y-33=z+45 and the intercept of P on the y-axis is 1,

Figure

 

Now normal of the plane will be perpendicular to the given line, so by perpendicular condition we get,

⇒8×2+3α1+5α2=0          …1

For Y intercept of plane put x=z=0 in equation of plane

⇒y=-12α1=1⇒α1=-12

Put α1 in equation 1 we get α2=4

Hence, equation of plane P: 2 x-3 y+z+3=0

Now distance of point A-2,3,-4 from the plane P is =2-2-33-4+322+-32+12=14.

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