Solution
The correct option is C5 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 x−2z+2=0 So, the perpendicular distance of the origin from the plane x−2z+2=0 is 2√5
