Three Dimensional Geometry Question 9

Question 9 - 25 January - Shift 1

Let the equation of the plane passing through the line $x-2 y-z-5=0=x+y+3 z-5$ and parallel to the line $x+y+2 z-7=0=2 x+3 y+z-2$ be $a x+b y+c z=65$. Then the distance of the point $(a, b, c)$ from the plane $2 x+2 y-z+16=0$ is

Show Answer

Answer: 9

Solution:

Formula: Equation Of A Plane, A Plane and A Point

Equation of plane is

$ \begin{aligned} & (x-2 y-z-5)+b(x+y+3 z-5)=0 \\ & \begin{vmatrix} 1+b & -2+b & -1+3 b \\ 1 & 1 & 2 \\ 2 & 3 & 1 \end{vmatrix} =0 \\ & \Rightarrow b=12 \end{aligned} $

$\therefore$ Plane is $13 x+10 y+35 z=65$

$\therefore$ The distance is 9.
