Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: 47. (d)

Solution:

  1. Let the equation of plane be

a(x1)+b(y+2)+c(z1)=0

which is perpendicular to 2x2y+z=0 and xy+2z=4.

2a2b+c=0 and ab+2c=0a3=b3=c0a1=b1=c0.

So, the equation of plane is x1+y+2=0 or

x+y+1=0

Its distance from the point (1,2,2) is |1+2+1|2=22
