Mathematics Three Dimensional Geometry JEE Main 2026

The square of the distance of the point P(5,6,7) from the line is equal to:

(A)3
(B)5
(C)6Correct
(D)8

Answer: (C)

Solution

Vector from (2,5,2) to P is (3,1,5); projection onto direction (2,3,4) has squared length 29²/29=29. |PA|²=35, so distance² = 35−29 = 6.
