Q2 / 105 · NTA Abhyas (JEE Main) 2020 · Mathematics · Three Dimensional Geometry

The distance between the point -1,-5,-10 and the point of intersection of the line x-23=y+14=z-212 with the plane x-y+z=5 is 13t, then t equals to

Correct answer: 1

Solution

Any point on the line is 3r+2, 4r –1, 12r+2
If it lies on the given plane, then 3r+2-4r-1+12r+2=5
⇒ 11r=0 ⇒ r=0
∴  Co-ordinates of the point of intersection of the given line and given plane are 2, -1, 2 and thus the required distance is 2+12+-1+52+2+102=13

⇒13=13t ⇒ t=1

Hence, the correct answer is 1.
