Q58 / 90 · JEE Main 2016 (03 Apr) · Mathematics

The distance of the point 1,-5, 9 from the plane x-y+z=5 measured along the line x=y=z is

  • A
    103
  • B
    203
  • C
    310 
  • Correct answer
    D
    103

Solution

Equation of line parallel to x=y=z through

1,-5, 9 is x-11=y+51=z-91=λ

If P λ+1, λ-5, λ+9 be point of intersection of line and plane.

Figure

⇒ λ+1-λ+5+λ+9=5

⇒ λ= -10

⇒ Coordinate points are -9, -15, -1

⇒ Required distance =λ12+12+12=103

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