Let the system of linear equations – x + 2 y - 9 z = 7 - x + 3 y + 7 z = 9 - 2 x + y + 5 z = 8 - 3 x +…

Let the system of linear equations

x+2y-9z=7

-x+3y+7z=9

-2x+y+5z=8

-3x+y+13z=λ

has a unique solution x=α, y=β, z=γ. Then the distance of the point α, β, γ from the plane 2x-2y+z=λ is

  1. 11
  2. 7
  3. 9
  4. 13

Solution

Given,

System of linear equation,

x+2y-9z=7 .......i

x+3y+7z=9 .......ii

2x+y+5z=8 ......iii

3x+y+13z=λ ......iv

Now solving, equations i, ii & iii we get,

x=3, y=2, z=0

Now substituting in equation iv we get,

3×3+2=λ

λ=11

Now finding the distance of Point 3, 2, 0 from the plane 2x-2y+z=11 we get,

d=-6-4-1122+22+1=213=7
