A plane P passes through the point of intersection of lines and lies at greatest distance from the point (0, 0, 0). The distance of point A (1, 2, 4) from the line measured parallel to plane P is equal to

Point (3λ + 1, λ + 2, 2λ + 3) on first line lies on second line.
⇒ 6λ – 4 = λ + 1 ⇒ λ = 1
Point of intersection = (4, 3, 5)
Equation of plane P will be
4 (x – 4) + 3 (y – 3) + 5 (z – 5) = 0
⇒ 4x +3y + 5z = 50.
Let a point B lie on line
B = (k + 1, k – 2, 2k + 3)
AB is parallel to plane.
AB is normal to normal of the plane.
4k + 3(k – 4) + 10k – 5 = 0
⇒ 17k = 17 ⇒ k = 1
Point B = (2, – 1, 5)
