Previous Year Question (PYQs)
1
The distance between the point $(3,4,5)$ and the point where the line
$\frac{x-3}{1}=\frac{y-4}{2}=\frac{z-5}{2}$
meets the plane
$x+y+z=17$
is:
Solution
Line in parametric form
Let parameter $t$
$x=3+t$
$y=4+2t$
$z=5+2t$
Substitute in plane
$x+y+z=17$
$(3+t)+(4+2t)+(5+2t)=17$
$12+5t=17$
$t=1$
Point of intersection
$x=4$
$y=6$
$z=7$
Distance from $(3,4,5)$
$d=\sqrt{(4-3)^2+(6-4)^2+(7-5)^2}$
$d=\sqrt{1+4+4}$
$d=3$
