Given a line L:x1=y−12=z−23L:\frac{x}{1}=\frac{y-1}{2}=\frac{z-2}{3}, then

Match the LIST-I with LIST-II

LIST-ILIST-II
A. The foot of perpendicular from point (1, 6, 3) on line LI. 2132\sqrt{13}
B. Perpendicular distance from point (1, 6, 3) to line LII. (1, 0, 7)
C. Image of point (1, 6, 3) with respect to line LIII. (1, 3, 5)
D. Distance between points (1, 6, 3) and (1, 0, 7)IV. 13\sqrt{13}

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 3

A general point is (λ,1+2λ,2+3λ)(\lambda,1+2\lambda,2+3\lambda). Making the joining vector perpendicular to (1,2,3)(1,2,3) gives 14λ−14=014\lambda-14=0, so λ=1\lambda=1 and the foot is (1,3,5)(1,3,5). The joining vector (0,−3,2)(0,-3,2) has length 13\sqrt{13}, the image is 2(1,3,5)−(1,6,3)=(1,0,7)2(1,3,5)-(1,6,3)=(1,0,7), and the distance to (1,6,3)(1,6,3) is 52=213\sqrt{52}=2\sqrt{13}.
