Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\dfrac{3}{7} \sqrt{35}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The given line equation is \(1-x = \dfrac{y}{2} = \dfrac{1+z}{3}\). Rewriting this in standard symmetric form \(\dfrac{x-x_1}{a} = \dfrac{y-y_1}{b} = \dfrac{z-z_1}{c}\), we get \(\dfrac{x-1}{-1} = \dfrac{y-0}{2} = \dfrac{z-(-1)}{3}\). Let the point on the line be…
