Correct answer

C. 69\sqrt{69}

Step-by-step solution

Given: 

x−20=y2=z+3−1\dfrac{x - 2}{0} = \dfrac{y}{2} = \dfrac{z + 3}{- 1} and x−11=y+3−3=z+11\dfrac{x - 1}{1} = \dfrac{y + 3}{- 3} = \dfrac{z + 1}{1}

⇒x−20=y2=z+3−1=k(let)⇒ \dfrac{x - 2}{0} = \dfrac{y}{2} = \dfrac{z + 3}{- 1} = k\left(\text{let}\right)

⇒x=2,y=2k,z=−k+3...(i)⇒ x = 2, y = 2k, z = - k + 3 . . . \left(i\right)

Also, x−11=y+3−3=z+11=λ(let)\dfrac{x - 1}{1} = \dfrac{y + 3}{- 3} = \dfrac{z + 1}{1} = \lambda\left(\text{let}\right)

⇒x=λ+1,y=−3λ−3.z=λ−1...(ii)⇒ x = \lambda + 1, y = - 3\lambda - 3 . z = \lambda - 1 . . . \left(ii\right)

Using \left(i\right)\text{and}\left(ii\right),</p><p>,</p><p>⇒ 2 = \lambda + 1, 2k = - 3\lambda - 3</p><p></p><p>⇒ \lambda = 1, 2k = - 3 - 3</p><p></p><p>⇒ \lambda = 1, k = - 3</p><p></p><p>⇒ x = 2, y = - 6, z = 0</p><p>So,theintersectionpointoftwogiven linesis (2,−6,0)</p><p>So, the intersection point of two given lines is \left(2, - 6, 0\right).

Let PQR be a triangle with R ( - 1, 4, 2 ) . Suppose M ( 2, 1, 2 ) is the mid point of PQ . The distance of the

Now, we know that centroid GG divides MRMR (median) in the ratio 1:21: 2.

So, by using section formula, G≡(1×−1+2×23,1×4+2×13,1×2+2×23)G ≡ \left(\dfrac{1 \times - 1 + 2 \times 2}{3}, \dfrac{1 \times 4 + 2 \times 1}{3}, \dfrac{1 \times 2 + 2 \times 2}{3}\right)

So, centroid is G(1,2,2)G ( 1, 2, 2 ).

Let AA be the point of intersection of given lines.

⇒AG=(2−1)2+(2+6)2+(2−0)2⇒ AG = \sqrt{{\left(2 - 1\right)}^{2} + {\left(2 + 6\right)}^{2} + {\left(2 - 0\right)}^{2}}

⇒AG=1+64+4⇒ AG = \sqrt{1 + 64 + 4}

⇒AG=69⇒ AG = \sqrt{69}
