Paragraph: Consider the lines: L₁: x+1 3 = y+2 1 = z+1 2 , L₂: x-2 1 = y+2 2 = z-3 3 Question: The distance of the point (1,1,1) from the plane passing through the point (-1,-2,-1) and whose normal is perpendicular to both the lines L₁ and L₂ , is
Options
- A2 / 75
- B7 / 75
- C13 / 75
- D23 / 75
Correct answer
C. 13 / 75
Step-by-step solution
The equation of the plane passing through the point (-1,-2,-1) and whose normal is perpendicular to both the given lines L₁ and L₂ may be written as array rlrl (x+1)+7(y+2)-5(z+1) & =0 & x+7 y-5 z+10 & =0 array The distance of the point (1,1,1) from the plane = | 1+7-5+10 1+49+25 |= 13 75
