Practicing Success
Let P be the point of intersection of the line $\frac{x+5}{6}=\frac{y+4}{1}=\frac{3-z}{1}$ and the plane $x+y + 2z=2.$ If Q is the point (-3, 3, 4), then $(PQ)^2$ is equal to |
66 60 56 52 |
56 |
The correct answer is Option (3) → 56 Let $\frac{x+5}{6}=\frac{y+4}{1}=\frac{3-z}{1}=λ$ intersection points $x=6λ-5,y=λ-4,z=3-λ$ putting values in eq. of plane $6λ-5+λ-4+6-2λ=2$ $5λ-3=2$ $λ=1⇒x=1,y=-3,z=2$ $PQ^2=(-3-1)^2+(3+3)^2+(4-2)^2$ $=16+36+4=56$ |
