The distance of the line x-22= y-63= z-34 from the point (1,4,0) along the line x1= y-22= z+33 is :
- 17
- 13
- 15
- 14
Answer
(4) 14
Solution
"Along the line" means: move from (1,4,0) in the direction (1,2,3) until the first line is met.
Path (1+t,4+2t,3t) = line (2+2k,6+3k,3+4k) k=0, t=1: meeting point (2,6,3).

Distance = 12+22+32= 14
