Let $$\mathrm{d}$$ be the distance of the point of intersection of the lines $$\frac{x+6}{3}=\frac{y}{2}=\frac{z+1}{1}$$ and $$\frac{x-7}{4}=\frac{y-9}{3}=\frac{z-4}{2}$$ from the point $$(7,8,9)$$. Then $$\mathrm{d}^2+6$$ is equal to :

- C.72
- D.69
Answer
A. 75
Explanation
$$\begin{aligned} & P_1:(3 k-6,2 k, k-1) \\ & P_2(4 \alpha+7,3 \alpha+9,2 \alpha+4) \\ & P_1 \equiv P_2 \\ & 3 k-6=4 \alpha+7 \Rightarrow 3 k-4 \alpha=13 \\ & 2 k=3 \alpha+9 \Rightarrow 2 k-3 \alpha=9 \\ & \therefore k=3, \alpha=-1 \\ & \therefore P_1:(3,6,2) \end{aligned}$$ Distance of $$(3,6,2)$$ and $$(7,8,9)$$ $$\begin{aligned} & =\sqrt{16+4+49}=\sqrt{69}=d \\ & d^2+6=69+6=75 \end{aligned}$$
