Options
- A14 units
- B14 units
- C237 units
- D237 units
Correct answer
A. 14 units
Step-by-step solution
Let P =(2,-1,5) and co-ordinates of any point on the given line be aligned & Q (10 +11,-4 -2,-11 -13) & d.r. of PQ are (10 +9,-4 -1,-11 -13) & d.r. of given line are (10,-4,-11) & (10 +9)(10)+(-4 -1)(-4)+(-11 -13)(-11)=0 & 100 +90+16 +4+121 +143=0 =-1 & Q (1,2,3) and d ( PQ )= 1^2+3^2+2^2 = 14 units aligned
