The plane x + 2y – z = 4 cuts the sphere x2 + y2 + z2 – x + z – 2 = 0 in a circle of radius

  • 3

  • 1

  • 2

  • square root of 2

Solution

B.

1

Perpendicular distance of centre open parentheses 1 half comma 0 comma fraction numerator negative 1 over denominator 2 end fraction close parentheses from x + 2y – 2 = 4
fraction numerator open vertical bar begin display style 1 half plus 1 half minus 4 end style close vertical bar over denominator square root of 6 end fraction space equals space square root of 3 over 2 end root
space radius space equals space square root of 5 over 2 minus 3 over 2 end root space equals space 1
