\(\triangle A B C\) is formed by \(A(1,8,4), B(0,-11,4)\) and \(C(2,-3,1)\). If \(D\) is the foot of the perpendicular from \(A\) to \(B C\). Then the coordinates of \(D\) are

  1. A (– 4, 5, 2)
  2. B (4, 5, – 2)
  3. C (4, – 5, 2)
  4. D (4, – 5, – 2)

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) (4, 5, – 2)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The vertices of \(\triangle A B C\) are given as \(A(1,8,4)\), \(B(0,-11,4)\) and \(C(2,-3,1)\). Equation of line \(B C\), \[ \frac{x}{2}=\frac{y+11}{8}=\frac{z-4}{-3}=\lambda \text { (say) } \] As point \(D\) is on line \(B C\), so coordinates of \(D\) are…
