If the foot of the perpendicular from the point A - 1 , 4 , 3 on the plane P : 2 x + m y + n z = 4 , is - 2 , 7 2 , 3 2 , then the distance of the point A from the plane P , measured parallel to a line with direction ratios 3 , - 1 , - 4 , is equal to
Options
- A1
- B26
- C2 2
- D14
Correct answer
B. 26
Step-by-step solution
Plotting the data of the given value we have, Now let B be foot of ⊥ coordinates, so given B = - 2 , 7 2 , 3 2 Now direction ratio of line A B will be - 2 + 1 , 7 2 - 4 , 3 2 - 3 ≡ - 1 , - 1 2 , - 3 2 ≡ 2 , 1 , 3 Now comparing with 2 x + m y + n z = 4 we get, m = 1 , n = 3 So equation of A C which is passing through - 1 , 4 , 3 will be x + 1 3 = y - 4 - 1 = z - 3 - 4 = λ So point C is 3 λ - 1 , - λ + 4 , - 4 λ + 3 , but given C lies on the plane 2 x + y + 3 z = 4 , so on satisf
