B=(2λ+7,−3λ−2,6λ+11)\mathrm{B}=(2 \lambda+7,-3 \lambda-2,6 \lambda+11)

JEE Main 2024 (Online) 27th January Morning Shift Mathematics - 3D Geometry Question 54 English Explanation

Point B lies on x−61=y−40=z−83\frac{x-6}{1}=\frac{y-4}{0}=\frac{z-8}{3}

2λ+7−61=−3λ−2−40=6λ+11−83\frac{2 \lambda+7-6}{1}=\frac{-3 \lambda-2-4}{0}=\frac{6 \lambda+11-8}{3}

−3λ−6=0-3 \lambda-6=0

λ=−2\lambda=-2

B⇒(3,4,−1)\mathrm{B} \Rightarrow(3,4,-1)

AB=(7−3)2+(4+2)2+(11+1)2\mathrm{AB}=\sqrt{(7-3)^2+(4+2)^2+(11+1)^2}

=16+36+144=\sqrt{16+36+144}

=196=14=\sqrt{196}=14
