Solution

The correct option is B 3
P,Q,R be points with position vectors r1=3i2jk,r2=i+3j+4k and r3=2i+j2k
Equation of a plane passing through the points O,Q,R is r=sr2+tr3
Since equation of plane through points a,b,c is r=(1st)a+sb+tc
r=s(i+3j+4k)+t(2i+j2k)
Taking r=xi+yj+zk and comparing terms gives
x=s+2t;y=3s+t;z=4s2t
Eliminating s and t, we get
4x4y+2z=0
Distance of the plane from P is 1816+16+4
required distance is 3
