Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 3

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Perpendicular distance of point \(P(2,3,-1)\) from \(x-y+z+4=0\) is \(l=\left|\begin{array}{c} \frac{2-3-1+4}{\sqrt{3}} \end{array}\right|=\frac{2}{\sqrt{3}}\) Perpendicular distance of the point \((1,4,-2)\) from plane…
