JEE Mains · Maths · STD 12 - 11. three dimension geometry

If the line \(\frac{{x - 2}}{3} = \frac{{y + 1}}{2} = \frac{{z - 1}}{1}\) intersects the plane \(2x + 3y -z + 13 = 0\) at a point \(P\) and the plane \(3x + y + 4z = 16\) at a point \(Q\), then \(PQ\) is equal to

  1. A \(2\sqrt {14} \)
  2. B \(14\)
  3. C \(2\sqrt {7} \)
  4. D \(\sqrt {14} \)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(2\sqrt {14} \)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\frac{x-2}{3}=\frac{y+1}{2}=\frac{z-1}{-1}=\lambda\) \(x=3 \lambda+2, y=2 \lambda-1, z=-\lambda+1\) Intersection with plane \(2 x+3 y-z+13=0\) \(2(3 \lambda+2)+3(2 \lambda-1)-(-\lambda+1)+13=0\) \(13 \lambda+13=0\) \(\lambda=-1\) \(\therefore P(-1,-3,2)\) Intersection with…
