Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(2\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Distance of \((x, y, z)\) (a) From \(x\) axis i.e. \((x, 0,0)\) \(d=\sqrt{y^2+z^2}\) (b) From \(y\) axis i.e. \((0, y, 0)\) \(d_2=\sqrt{x^2+z^2}\) (c) From \(z\) axis i.e. \((0,0, z)\) \(d_3=\sqrt{x^2+y^2}\) Distance of \((x, y, z)\) from origin \(d=\sqrt{x^2+y^2+z^2}\)…
