The distance of a point \(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{a}}\) from the plane \(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{r}} \cdot \overrightarrow{\mathrm{m}}=\mathrm{q}\) is given by \(\frac{|\vec{a} \cdot \vec{m}-q|}{|m|}\). If the distance of the point \(\hat{i}+2 \hat{j}+3 \hat{k}\) from the plane \(\vec{r} \cdot(2 \hat{i}+6 \hat{j}-9 \hat{k})=-1\) is \(p\) and the distance of the origin from this plane is \(\mathrm{q}\), then \(\mathrm{p}-\mathrm{q}=\)

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(1\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Distance from point \(\vec{i}+2 \vec{j}+3 \vec{k}\) from the plane \(\begin{aligned} & \vec{r} \cdot(2 \vec{i}+b \vec{j}-9 \vec{k})=-1 \text { is qp } \\ & \Rightarrow \frac{|2+12-27+1|}{\sqrt{4+36+81}}=\frac{12}{11}=p \end{aligned}\) and distance from origin to the given plane…
