QJEEM21Ma0841: JEE Main 2021 Mathematics - Class 12 JEEM21Ma0841 Solution: The distance of line from the point (2, 1, 6) is :

The distance of line 3y−2z−1=0=3x−z+43y - 2z - 1 = 0 = 3x - z + 4 from the point (2, −- 1, 6) is :

Multiple Choice Options

  • A 26\sqrt {26}
  • B 252\sqrt 5
  • C 262\sqrt 6
  • D 424\sqrt 2

Step-by-Step Verified Solution

3y−2z−1=0=3x−z+43y - 2z - 1 = 0 = 3x - z + 4

3y−2z−1=03y - 2z - 1 = 0

D.R's ⇒\Rightarrow (0, 3, −- 2)

3x−z+43x - z + 4 = 0

D.R's ⇒\Rightarrow (3, −- 1, 0)

Let DR's of given line are a, b, c

Now, 3b −- 2c = 0 & 3a −- c = 0

∴\therefore 6a = 3b = 2c

a : b : c = 3 : 6 : 9

Any point on line

3K −- 1, 6K + 1, 9K + 1

Now, 3(3K −- 1) + 6(6K + 1)1 + 9(9K + 1) = 0

⇒\Rightarrow K = 13{1 \over 3}

Point on line ⇒\Rightarrow (0, 3, 4)

Given point (2, −- 1, 6)

⇒\Rightarrow Distance = 4+16+4=26\sqrt {4 + 16 + 4} = 2\sqrt 6

Option (c)
