Solution

The correct option is A $\sqrt{\frac{14}{3}}$
We know
$d = \frac{| (\to p - \to a) \times \to c |}{| \to c |}$
Given: $L : \to r = 2^i +^j + 3^k + λ (^i +^j +^k), \to p =^i + 2^j +^k$
Comparing with $\to r = \to a + λ \to c,$ we have $(\to a) = 2^i +^j + 3^k$ and $\to c =^i +^j +^k$
Here, $(\to p - \to a) = -^i +^j - 2^k$
Now, $(\to p - \to a) \times \to c = ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ \begin{matrix} ^i & ^j & ^k - 1 & 1 & - 2 1 & 1 & 1 \end{matrix} ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ = 3^i -^j - 2^k$
$\Rightarrow | \to c | = \sqrt{3}$
$d = \frac{| (\to p - \to a) \times \to c |}{| \to c |} = \frac{| 3^i -^j - 2^k |}{\sqrt{3}}$
Thus, $d = \sqrt{\frac{14}{3}}$ units
