The line \(L\) is passing through \((1,2,3)\). The distance of any point on the line \(L\) from the line \(\bar{r}=(3 \lambda-1) \hat{i}+(-2 \lambda+3) \hat{j}+(4+\lambda) \hat{k}\) is constant. Then the line \(L\) does not pass through the point

  1. A \((4,0,4)\)
  2. B \((-2,4,2)\)
  3. C \((7,-2,5)\)
  4. D \((-5,6,2)\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \((-5,6,2)\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The line \(\bar{r}=(3 \lambda-1) \hat{i}+(-2 \lambda+3) \hat{j}+(4+\lambda) \hat{k}\) passes through \((-1,3,4)\) and has direction vector \(\vec{d_1}=(3,-2,1)\). If the distance of any point on line \(L\) from this line is constant, then line \(L\) must be parallel to \(\vec{d_1}\).
