Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) 162

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Let \(M_1\) be the foot of the perpendicular from \(P(0, -5, 0)\) to the first line \(L_1: \dfrac{x-1}{2} = \dfrac{y}{1} = \dfrac{z+1}{-2}\). A general point on \(L_1\) is \(M_1(2\lambda + 1, \lambda, -2\lambda - 1)\). The direction ratios of \(PM_1\) are…
