The distance of the point (1,0,2) from the point of intersection of the line fraction numerator straight x minus 2 over denominator 3 end fraction space equals space fraction numerator straight y plus 1 over denominator 4 end fraction space equals space fraction numerator straight z minus 2 over denominator 12 end fraction and the plane x-y +z = 16 is

  • 2 square root of 14
  • 8

  • 3 square root of 21
  • 13

Solution

D.

13

Given equation of line 
fraction numerator straight x minus 2 over denominator 3 end fraction space equals space fraction numerator straight y plus 1 over denominator 4 end fraction space equals space fraction numerator straight z minus 2 over denominator 12 end fraction space equals space straight lambda space.. space left parenthesis straight i right parenthesis
and the equation of the plane is 
x-y+z = 16 ... (ii)
Any point on the line (i) is
(3λ +2, 4λ-1, 12λ +2) = 16
11λ + 5 = 16
11λ =11
λ =1
therefore, Point of intersection is (5,3,14)
Now, distance between the points (1,0,2) and (5,3,2)
space equals square root of left parenthesis 5 minus 1 right parenthesis squared left parenthesis 3 minus 0 right parenthesis squared plus left parenthesis 14 minus 2 right parenthesis squared end root
equals space square root of 16 plus 9 plus 144 end root
equals space square root of 169 space equals space 13
