JEE Main2016MathematicsThree Dimensional GeometryActual
The distance of the point 1 , - 2 , 4 from the plane passing through the point 1 , 2 , 2 and perpendicular to the planes x - y + 2 z = 3 and 2 x - 2 y + z + 12 = 0 , is :
Options
- A2
- B2
- C2 2
- D1 2
Correct answer
C. 2 2
Step-by-step solution
Let equation of plane be a x - 1 + b y - 2 + c z - 2 = 0 ....... i Since ( i ) is perpendicular to the given planes, then Dot product of the normal vectors of the perpendicular planes is 0 . a - b + 2 c = 0 2 a - 2 b + c = 0 Solving above equations c = 0 and a = b equation of plane i becomes x + y - 3 = 0 Distance from 1 ,   - 2 ,   4 will be D = 1 - 2 - 3 1 + 1 = 4 2 = 2 2
