Points on the line x+23=y+12=z−32\frac{x+2}{3} = \frac{y+1}{2} = \frac{z-3}{2} at a distance of 5 units from the point (1,3,3)(1, 3, 3), are

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 1

A general point on the line is (3t−2, 2t−1, 2t+3)(3t-2,\,2t-1,\,2t+3). Its squared distance from (1,3,3)(1,3,3) is 17t2−34t+25=2517t^2-34t+25=25, giving t=0t=0 or t=2t=2. These yield the points (−2,−1,3)(-2,-1,3) and (4,3,7)(4,3,7).
