Solution

The correct option is B 6/7
Given,

Let P=(1,2,3)

given plane xy+z=5

to find the distance of point P=(1,2,3) from the plane xy+z=5 measured along the parallel line to

x2=y3=z6

equation of line passing through (1,2,3)and having DR's (2,3,6)

let x12=y+23=z36=λ

x=2λ+1,y=3λ2,z=6λ+3

2λ+13λ+26λ+3=2+36

7λ=56

λ=17

Therefore the coordinates of Q are

(27+1,372,67+3)

=(97,117,157)

PQ=(971)2+(117+2)2+(1573)2

=449+949+3649

=4949

=1
