JEE Main & Advanced Mathematics Three Dimensional Geometry Question Bank Line and Plane

  • question_answer
    The distance between the line \[\frac{x-1}{3}=\frac{y+2}{-2}=\frac{z-1}{2}\] and the plane \[2x+2y-z=6\] is

    A)            9

    B)            1

    C)            2

    D)            3

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

                       Obviously the line and the plane are parallel, so to find the distance between the line and the plane, take any point on the line i.e., (1, ? 2, 1). Now the perpendicular distance of the point (1, ? 2, 1) from the plane will be the required distance.            Hence distance \[=\left| \,\frac{2\,(1)+2\,(-2)\,-1\,(1)-6}{\sqrt{{{2}^{2}}+{{2}^{2}}+{{1}^{2}}}}\, \right|=\frac{9}{\sqrt{9}}=3\].
