The point in the xy-plane which is equidistant from the point (2, 0, 3), (0, 3, 2) and (0, 0, 1) is

  • (1, 2, 3)

  • (- 3, 2, 0)

  • (3, - 2, 0)

  • (3, 2, 0)

(3, 2, 0)

Let the point in xy-plane be P(xi, Yi, 0). Let the given points are A (2, 0, 3), B(0, 3, 2) and C (0, 0, 1).

According to the given condition
AP2 = BP2 = CP2

 x1 - 22 + y12 + 9      = x12 + y1 - 32 + 4      = x12 + y12 + 1

From Ist and IInd terms,

x12 + 4 - 4x1 + y12 + 9 = x12 + y12 - 6y1 + 9 + 4

 4x1 - 6y1 = 0         ...(i)

From IInd and IIIrd terms,

x12 + y12 + 9 - 6y1 + 4 = x12 + y12 + 1

 6y1 = 12  y1 = 2

On putting the value of y1 in Eq. (i), we get x1 = 3

Hence, required point is (3, 2, 0)
