Distance between the point (3, 4, 5) and the point where the line x−31=y−42=z−52\frac{x-3}{1} = \frac{y-4}{2} = \frac{z-5}{2} meets the plane x+y+z=17x + y + z = 17 is :

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 3

Parametrize line: (3+t,4+2t,5+2t)(3+t, 4+2t, 5+2t).

Substitute into plane: (3+t)+(4+2t)+(5+2t)=17⇒12+5t=17⇒t=1(3+t)+(4+2t)+(5+2t)=17 \Rightarrow 12+5t=17 \Rightarrow t=1.

Point: (4,6,7)(4,6,7). Distance from (3,4,5)(3,4,5): 1+4+4=3\sqrt{1+4+4}=3.
