Q99 / 225 · JEE Main 2003 · Mathematics
The shortest distance from the plane $12 x+4 y+3 z=327$ to the sphere $x^2+y^2+z^2+4 x-2 y-6 z=155$ is
- A39
- B26
- C$11 \frac{4}{13}$
- Correct answerD13
Solution
Shortest distance $=$ perpendicular distance $=\left|\frac{-2 \times 12+4 \times 1+3 \times 3-327}{\sqrt{144+9+16}}\right|=26$
$\therefore$ Shortest distance
$$=26-\sqrt{4+1+15+9}=26-13=13 \quad[\because 26-r]$$
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'D'.
