Let lie on the plane , for some . The shortest distance of the plane from the origin is:
  1. (A)
  2. (B)✓ Correct
  3. (C)
  4. (D)

Answer: (B)

Solution

The line passes through with direction ratios . Since the point lies on the plane: , so . Since the line lies on the plane, its direction vector is perpendicular to the normal : . Solving the system: from the second equation . Substituting into the first: gives , hence . The plane is . Distance from origin .
