Q45 / 90 · JEE Main 2023 (15 Apr Shift 1) · Mathematics

Let the system of linear equations

–x+2y-9z=7

-x+3y+7z=9

-2x+y+5z=8

-3x+y+13z=λ

has a unique solution x=α, y=β, z=γ. Then the distance of the point α, β, γ from the plane 2x-2y+z=λ is

  • A
    11
  • Correct answer
    B
    7
  • C
    9
  • D
    13

Solution

Given,

System of linear equation,

–x+2y-9z=7 .......i

–x+3y+7z=9 .......ii

–2x+y+5z=8 ......iii

–3x+y+13z=λ ......iv

Now solving, equations i, ii & iii we get,

x=–3, y=2, z=0

Now substituting in equation iv we get,

3×3+2=λ

⇒λ=11

Now finding the distance of Point –3, 2, 0 from the plane 2x-2y+z=11 we get,

d=-6-4-1122+22+1=213=7

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