Solution

The correct option is C 5
The plane containing the given line is
(2x+3y+5z+1)+λ(3x+4y+6z+2)=0
(2+3λ)x+(3+4λ)y+(5+6λ)z+(1+2λ)=0 ....(1)
This plane is parallel to y-axis
3+4λ=0
λ=34
Put this value in (1), we get the equation of plane as
x2z+2=0
So, the perpendicular distance of the origin from the plane x2z+2=0 is 25
