A plane passes through (2,3,-1) and is perpendicular to the line having direction ratios 3,-4,7 . The perpendicular distance from the origin to this plane is
Options
- A3 74
- B5 74
- C6 74
- D13 74
Correct answer
D. 13 74
Step-by-step solution
The equation of the plane passes through the point (2,3,-1) is where a, b, c are the direction ratio of the normal to the plane. Also, given the plane is perpendicular to the line whose direction ratio is (3,-4,7) . So, that line and the normal of the plane are parallel. array lc & a 3 = b -4 = c 7 =k & a=3 k, b=-4 k, c=7 k array From Eq. (i) 3 k(x-2)-4 k(y-3)+7 k(z+1)=0 Now, perpendicular distance from the origin to this plane aligned & = |3 0-4 0+7 0+13| 9+16+49 & = 13 74 aligned
