The distance of the point 1 , 2 , 3 from the plane x + y - z = 5 measured along the straight line x = y = z is
Options
- A5 3 units
- B10 3 units
- C3 3 units
- D3 5 units
Correct answer
A. 5 3 units
Step-by-step solution
Equation of line parallel to the line x = y = z and passing through (1, 2, 3) is x - 1 = y - 2 = z - 3 Coordinates of a general point on this line is λ + 1 , λ + 2 , λ + 3 . It meets the given plane x + y - z = 5 ⇒ λ = 5 So, the point of intersection is 6 , 7 , 8 Hence, distance = 5 3
