The distance of the point (1, 3, –7) from the plane passing through the point (1, –1, –1), having normal perpendicular to both the lines JEE Main Previous Year Questions (2016- 2023): Vector Algebra and Three Dimensional Geometry | Mathematics (Maths) for JEE Main & Advanced and JEE Main Previous Year Questions (2016- 2023): Vector Algebra and Three Dimensional Geometry | Mathematics (Maths) for JEE Main & Advanced is     (2017)
(1) 10/√74
(2) 20/√74
(3) 10/√83
(4) 5/√83
Ans. 
(3)
Let the plane be
a(x - 1)+ b( y + 1) + c(z +1) = 0
It is perpendicular to the given lines
a – 2b + 3c = 0
Solving, a : b : c = 5 : 7 : 3
∴ The plane is 5x + 7y + 3z + 5 = 0
Distance of (1, 3, –7) from this plane = 10/√83

Q.73. If the line, JEE Main Previous Year Questions (2016- 2023): Vector Algebra and Three Dimensional Geometry | Mathematics (Maths) for JEE Main & Advanced lies in the plane, lx + my - z = 9, then l2 + m2 is equal to:    (2016)
(1) 26
(2) 18
(3) 5
(4) 24
Ans. (4) 
Point on line is P = (3, -2, -4)
'P’ lies on lx + my - z = 9
=> 3l - 2m + 4  = 9
3l - 2m = 5 ....(1)
As line lies on plane
=> 2 x l + m x (-1) + 3 x (-1) = 0
2l - m = 3 .....(3) 
Solving l = 1, m = -1
So, l+ m= 2
