- B8 units
- C65 units
- D72 units
Correct answer
C. 65 units
Step-by-step solution
Equation of line through origin and perpendicular to the plane x - 2 y - 4 z = 4 is x - 0 1 = y - 0 - 2 = z - 0 - 4 = λ So, any point on this line is λ , - 2 λ , - 4 λ ∵ the above point lies on the plane 4 x - 5 y + 2 z - 6 = 0 ⇒ 4 λ + 10 λ - 8 λ - 6 = 0 ⇒ 6 λ = 6 ⇒ λ = 1 Coordinates of the point P are 1 , – 2 , – 4 The distance of point P from 1 , 2 , 3 is 0 + 16 + 49 = 65
