Solution

The correct option is A 314
Clearly line and plane are parallel, so perpendicular distance between line and plane will be same at each point
Now equation of line in cartesian form is 2x+y3z5=0
and the line passes through (1,0,0)
So distance between the line and the plane is
=2(1)522+12+32=314
