Let a line pass through two distinct points \(P(-2,-1,3)\) and \(Q\), and be parallel to the vector \(3 \hat{i}+2 \hat{j}+2 \hat{k}\). If the distance of the point Q from the point \(\mathrm{R}(1,3,3)\) is 5 , then the square of the area of \(\triangle P Q R\) is equal to :

  1. A 148
  2. B 136
  3. C 144
  4. D 140
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 136

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Equation of line \(P Q\) is: \(\frac{x+2}{3}=\frac{y+1}{2}=\frac{z-3}{2}=r(\text { say })\) Let coordinate of \(Q=(3 r-2,2 r-1,2 r+3)\) \(\because P R=5\) Then…
