Read the following passage and answer the questions. Consider the lines `L_(1):(x+1)/(3)=(y+2)/(1)=(z+1)/(2),L_(2):(x-2)/(1)=(y+2)/(2)=(z-3)/(3)` The distance of the point (1,1,1) from the plane passing throught the point (-1,-2,-1) and whose normal is perpendicular to both the lines `L_(1)` and `L_(2)`, isA. `2//sqrt(75)` unitB. `7//sqrt(75)` unitsC. `13//sqrt(75)` unitsD. `23//sqrt(75)` units

Answer» Correct Answer - C
The equation of the plane passing through the point (-1,-2,-1) and whose normal is perpendicular to both the given lines `L_(1)` and `L_(2)` may be written as
`(x+1)+7(y+2)-5(z+1)=0impliesx+7y-5z+10=0`
The distance of the point (1,1,1) from the plane
`=|(1+7-5+10)/(sqrt(1+49+25))|=(13)/(sqrt(75))`units
