    Distance from the point \[(1,\,\,6,\,\,3)\] to the line \[\overset{\to }{\mathop{\mathbf{r}}}\,=(\widehat{\mathbf{j}}+2\widehat{\mathbf{k}})+\lambda (\widehat{\mathbf{i}}+2\widehat{\mathbf{j}}+3\widehat{\mathbf{k}})\]is

    A) \[\sqrt{13}\]      

    B) \[13\]

    C) \[2\sqrt{3}\]                                      

    D)  none of these

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Key Idea: The perpendicular distance from\[(\alpha ,\,\,\beta ,\,\,\gamma )\] to the line                 \[\frac{x-{{x}_{1}}}{l}=\frac{y-{{y}_{1}}}{m}=\frac{z-{{z}_{1}}}{n}\]                           ? (i) is given by \[\sqrt{\begin{align}   & {{(\alpha -{{x}_{1}})}^{2}}+{{(\beta -{{y}_{1}})}^{2}}+{{(\gamma -{{z}_{1}})}^{2}}- \\  & {{[l(\alpha -{{x}_{1}})+m(\beta -{{y}_{1}})+n(\gamma -{{z}_{1}})]}^{2}} \\ \end{align}}\]    ? (ii) Given line\[\overset{\to }{\mathop{\mathbf{r}}}\,=(\widehat{\mathbf{j}}+2\widehat{\mathbf{k}})+\lambda (\widehat{\mathbf{i}}+2\widehat{\mathbf{j}}+3\widehat{\mathbf{k}})\]and point\[(1,\,\,6,\,\,3)\]. \[\therefore \]Line in cartesian co-ordinates is                 \[\frac{x-0}{1}=\frac{y-1}{2}=\frac{z-2}{3}\]                         ? (ii) \[\therefore \]\[l=\frac{1}{\sqrt{14}},\,\,m=\frac{2}{\sqrt{14}},\,\,n=\frac{3}{\sqrt{14}}\] are direction ratio's of line. Also, by comparing (i) and (iii), we get                 \[{{x}_{1}}=0,\,\,{{y}_{1}}=1,\,\,{{z}_{1}}=2\] and        \[\alpha =1,\,\,\beta =6,\,\,\gamma =3\] \[\therefore \]From (ii) Required distance                 \[\sqrt{\begin{align}   & {{(1-0)}^{2}}+{{(6-1)}^{2}}+{{(3-2)}^{2}} \\  & -\left[ \frac{1}{\sqrt{14}}\{1+2\times 5)+3{{(1)}^{2}}\} \right] \\ \end{align}}\]
