JEE Main 2017Three Dimensional Geometry Question with Solution

JEE Main 2017 (02 Apr)

Question

If the image of the point P1,-2, 3 in the plane, 2x+3y-4z+22=0 measured parallel to the line, x1=y4=z5 is Q, then PQ is equal to:

Correct answer
B242

Step-by-step explanation

Any line parallel to x1=y4=z5 and passing through P(1,-2,3) is

  x-11=y+24=z-35=λ   (say)

Any point on above line can be written as (λ+1,4λ-2,5λ+3).

Coordinates of R are (λ+1,4λ-2,5λ+3).

Since, point R lies on the above plane. 2(λ+1)+3(4λ-2)-4(5λ+3)+22=0

  λ=1

So, point R  is (2,2,8)

Now, PR=(2-1)2+(2+2)2+(8-3)2=42

  PQ=2PR=242

Since, point R lies on the above plane.

So, point R is (2,2,8)
