Solution

The correct option is D

13


Given equation of line is
x23=y+14=z212=λ [say]...(i)
and equation of plane is
xy+z=16 .........(ii)
Any point on the line (i) is, (3λ+2,4λ1,12λ+2)
Let this point of intersection of the line and plane.
(3λ+2)(4λ1)+(12λ+2)=16 11λ+5=16 11λ=11λ=1
So, the point of intersection is (5, 3, 14).
Now, distance between the points (1, 0, 2) and (5, 3, 14)
=(51)2+(30)2+(142)2
=16+9+144=169=13
