Q41 / 90 · JEE Main 2022 (29 Jun Shift 2) · Mathematics

Let x-23=y+1-2=z+3-1 lie on the plane px-qy+z=5, for some p, q∈R. The shortest distance of  the plane from the origin is:

  • A
    3109
  • Correct answer
    B
    5142
  • C
    571
  • D
    1142

Solution

Given, line x-23=y+1-2=z+3-1

So, the point 2, -1, -3 will satisfy the given plane px-qy+z=5

So, 2p+q-3=5 or 2p+q=8 ... (i)

Also given line is perpendicular to normal plane so 

3p+2q-1=0 ... (ii)

⇒p=15, q=-22

So,equation of plane 15x-22y+z-5=0

Now its distance from origin =6710=5142

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