Let the line L pass through the point (0, 1, 2), intersect the line x-12=y-23=z-34 and be parallel to the plane 2x+y-3z=4. Then the distance of the point P(1, 9, 2) from the line L is

  1. 74
  2. 69
  3. 54
  4. 9

Solution

Given,

The line L pass through the point (0, 1, 2), intersect the line x-12=y-23=z-34 and be parallel to the plane 2x+y-3z=4,

Now plotting the diagram of above data we have,

Now let the direction of line which passes through 0,1,2 be a,b,c

Now the line L & L1 are coplanar,

So coplanar condition we get,

abc2-13-24-3234=0

abc111234=0

a-2b+c=0 .......1

And the line L is perpendicular to the normal vector of the plane, 

So by perpendicular condition we get,
2a+b-3c=0 ......2

So, from equation 1 & 2 we get,

a=b=c

So, equation of line L will be,

L=x1=y-11=z-21=λ

So any point on L can be taken as Aλ, 1+λ, 2+λ,

Now AP will be perpendicular to the direction ratio of the line L,

So, again by perpendicular condition we get,

AP·i^+j^+k^=0

λ-1+λ+10+λ=0

3λ+9=0

λ=-3

Hence, A-3, -2, -1  & P1, -9, 2

So, by distance formula we get, AP=74
