Q44 / 90 · JEE Main 2015 (04 Apr) · Mathematics

The distance of the point 1, 0, 2 from the point of intersection of the line x-23=y+14=z-212 and the plane x-y+z=16, is 

  • Correct answer
    A
    1 3
  • B
    2 1 4
  • C
    8
  • D
    3 2 1

Solution

Let x-23=y+14=z-212=t  

General points is (2+3t,- 1+4t,2+12t)

It lies on the plane x-y+z=16.

⇒2+3t+1-4t+2+12t=16

⇒t=1

Hence, the point of intersection will be

(2+3(1),-1+4(1),2+12(1))=5,3,14

Distance from (1,0,2) = 5 - 1 2 + 3 - 0 2 + 1 4 - 2 2

= 4 2 + 3 2 + 1 2 2

= 1 3

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