Options
- A7 5
- B1
- C1 7
- D7
Correct answer
B. 1
Step-by-step solution
Equation PQ x - 1 2 = y + 2 3 = z - 3 - 6 = λ Let Q ≡ ( 2 λ + 1 , 3 λ - 2 , - 6 λ + 3 ) Q lies on x - y + z = 5 ⇒    ( 2 λ + 1 ) - ( 3 λ - 2 ) + ( - 6 λ + 3 ) = 5 ⇒ λ = 1 7 ⇒ Q ≡ 9 7 , - 11 7 , 15 7 PQ = 1 - 9 7 2 + - 2 + 11 7 2 + 3 - 15 7 2 = 1
