The foot of the perpendicular drawn from the origin to the plane x+y+z=3x+y+z=3 is

Options

  1. A(0,1,2)(0,1,2)
  2. B(0,0,3)(0,0,3)
  3. C(1,1,1)(1,1,1)
  4. D(−1,1,3)(-1,1,3)

Correct answer

C. (1,1,1)(1,1,1)

Step-by-step solution

Given equation of plane x+y+z=3x+y+z=3 Let point PP is (0,0,0)(0,0,0) and point QQ is the foot of perpendicular drawn from point PP on the plane. Since, PQ is perpendicular to the plane, so direction ratio of line PQ⟨1,1,1⟩\mathrm{PQ}\langle 1,1,1\rangle. ∴\therefore \quad Equation of line PQ,x−01=y−01=z−01=λ∴(x,y,z)=(λ,λ,λ)P Q, \frac{x-0}{1}=\frac{y-0}{1}=\frac{z-0}{1}=\lambda\therefore(x, y, z)=(\lambda, \lambda, \lambda) As point Q lies on the given plane. ∴λ+λ+λ=3⇒λ=1\therefore \lambda+\lambda+\lambda=3 \Rightarrow \lambda=1 Hence, Co-ordinate of point Q=(1,1,1)\mathrm{Q}=(1,1,1).
