    The point on the line \[\frac{x-2}{1}=\frac{y+3}{-2}=\frac{z+5}{-2}\] at a distance of 6 from the point \[(2,\,\,-3,\,\,-5)\] is

    A) \[(3,\,\,-5,\,\,-3)\]                          

    B) \[(4,\,\,-7,\,\,-9)\]

    C)  \[(0,\,\,2,\,\,-1)\]                           

    D)  \[(-3,\,\,5,\,\,3)\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Given, equation of line is                 \[\frac{x-2}{1}=\frac{y+3}{-2}=\frac{z+5}{-2}\] DR's of given line is \[<1,\,\,-2,\,\,-2>\] Then, DC's of given line is\[<\frac{1}{3},\,\,\frac{-2}{3},\,\,\frac{-2}{3}>\] Thus, the given equation can be rewritten as                 \[\frac{x-2}{\frac{1}{3}}=\frac{y+3}{\frac{-2}{3}}=\frac{z+5}{-\frac{2}{3}}=r\]       [say] \[\therefore \]Any point on the line is \[\left( 2+\frac{r}{3},\,\,3-\frac{2r}{3},\,\,-5-\frac{2r}{3} \right)\] where,                 \[r=\pm 6\] Hence, points are\[(4,\,\,-7,\,\,-9)\]and\[(0,\,\,1,\,\,-1)\].
