If a point R (4, y , z ) lies on the line joining the points P(2,-3,4) and Q(8,0,10) , then distance of R from origin is
Options
- A2 14
- B6
- C53
- D2 21
Correct answer
A. 2 14
Step-by-step solution
Equation of line joining point P and Q : x^ -2 8-2 = y^ +3 0+3 = z^ -4 10-4 = ( say ) x^ =6 +2, y^ =3 -3, z^ =6 +4 Point R (4, y , z ) lies on line PQ 4=6 +2 = 1 3 aligned & and y=3 -3=3 1 3 -3=-2 & z=6 +4=2+4=6 aligned Point R (4,-2,6) Now, distance of R from origin is = 16+4+36 = 56 =2 14
