Let P be the plane containing the straight line x - 3 9 = y + 4 - 1 = z - 7 - 5 and perpendicular to the plane containing the straight lines x 2 = y 3 = z 5 and x 3 = y 7 = z 8 . If d is the distance of P from the point 2 , - 5 , 11 , then d 2 is equal to
Options
- A147 2
- B96
- C32 3
- D54
Correct answer
C. 32 3
Step-by-step solution
Let < a , b , c > be direction ratios of plane containing the line x 2 = y 3 = z 5 and x 3 = y 7 = z 8 Since plane normal will be perpendicular to given lines then by condition of perpendicular lines, 2 a + 3 b + 5 c = 0   . . . . 1 and 3 a + 7 b + 8 c = 0 . . . . . 2 On solving 1   &   2 we get, a 24 - 35 = b 15 - 16 = c 14 - 9 So, DR of plane are < 11 , 1 , - 5 > Now let DR of plane P be < a 1 , b 1 , c 1 > Then, 11 a 1 + b 1 - 5 c 1 = 0   . . . . 3 And 9 a 1 - b 1
