Let \(\pi\) be the plane that passes through the point \((-2,1,-1)\) and parallel to the plane \(2 x-y+2 z=0\). Then the foot of perpendicular drawn from the point \((1,2,1)\) to the plane \(\pi\) is

  1. A \((-3,-1,1)\)
  2. B \((-1,1,-3)\)
  3. C \((-3,3,-1)\)
  4. D \((-1,3,-1)\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \((-1,3,-1)\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Equation of plane parallel to \(2 x-y+2 z=0\) is \(2 x-y+2 z+k=0\) It also passes through \((-2,1,-1)\) \(\begin{aligned} & \Rightarrow-4-1-2+k=0 \Rightarrow k=7 \\ & \therefore \pi \equiv 2 x-y+2 z+7=0 \end{aligned}\) Let \((a, b, c)\) be the foot of perpendicular from…
