Options:

A) $ \frac{1}{2\sqrt{2}} $

B) $ \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} $

C) $ \frac{1}{4\sqrt{2}} $

D) $ \frac{1}{3\sqrt{2}} $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: D

Solution:

  • $ 2x2y+3z2+\lambda (xy+z+1)=0 $ $ x+2yz3+\mu (3xy+2z1)=0 $

$ \Rightarrow \frac{2+\lambda }{1+3\mu }=\frac{-2-\lambda }{2-\mu }=\frac{3+\lambda }{-1+2\mu }=\frac{-2+\lambda }{-3-\mu } $

$ \Rightarrow \frac{1}{1+\mu }=\frac{5}{2+3\mu } $

$ \Rightarrow 5+5\mu =2+3\mu $

$ \Rightarrow \mu =\frac{-3}{2} $ $ 2(x+2yz3)3(3xy+2z1)=0 $

$ \Rightarrow -7x+7y8z3=0 $ Distance $ =\frac{3}{\sqrt{162}}=\frac{3}{9\sqrt{2}}=\frac{1}{3\sqrt{2}} $
