  1. A \(10\)
  2. B \(\frac{2 \sqrt{5}}{5}\)
  3. C \(\frac{5}{\sqrt{2}}\)
  4. D \(8\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\frac{5}{\sqrt{2}}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Since, equation of line \(A B\) is \(\frac{x-0}{3}=\frac{y-2}{-2}=\frac{z-4}{-3}\) \(\begin{aligned} & \Rightarrow \frac{x}{3}=\frac{y-2}{-2}=\frac{z-4}{-3}=k(\text { Let }) \\ & \Rightarrow(x, y, z)=(3 k,-2 k+2,-3 k+4) \end{aligned}\) Now, direction ratio of \(P C\) is…
