Foot of the perpendicular drawn from the origin to the plane 2x - 3y + 4z = 29 is

  • (5, - 1, 4)

  • (7, - 1, 3)

  • (5, - 2, 3)

  • (2, - 3, 4)


D.

(2, - 3, 4)

Let the foot of the perpendicular in the 2x - 3y + 4z = 29 be Pα, β, γ.

So, the point α, β, γ satisfy the given plane.

 2α - 3β + 4γ = 29        ...iNow DR's of PO is α, β, γ, where O is origin.

Since, OF is perpendicular to the given plane. Therefore, normal to the plane is parallel to OF.

 α2 = β- 3 = γ4 = k α = 2k, β = - 3k and γ = 4k

On putting the value of α, β and γ in Eq.(i), we get

2(2k) - 3(- 3k) + 4(4k) = 29

 4k + 9k + 16k = 29 29k = 29  k = 1     α = 2, β = - 3 and γ = 4

Hence, foot of perpendicular is (2, - 3, 4).
