Trick: The line passing through these points is 19 −4 − 6 Now co-ordinates of the foot lie on this line, so they must
satisfy the given line. But here no point satisfies the line, hence answer is (d).

14. (d)
Let M be the foot of perpendicular from (7, 14, 5) to the given plane, then PM is normal to the plane. So, its d.r.'s are 2, 4, -1.
Since PM passes through P(7,14,5) and has d.r.'s 2, 4, -1.

Therefore, its equation is 2 4 −1

 x = 2r + 7 , y = 4 r + 14 , z = −r + 5
(2r + 7, 4 r + 14, − r + 5)
Let co-ordinates of M be
Since M lies on the plane 2 x + 4 y − z = 2 , therefore 2(2r + 7) + 4(4 r + 14) − (−r + 5) = 2  r = −3

Therefore, required equation is 4 x − 7 y + 3 z = 28 .

20. (d)
Obviously the line and the plane are parallel, so to find the distance between the line and the plane, take any point on the line i.e.,
(1, - 2, 1). Now the perpendicular distance of the point (1, - 2, 1) from the plane will be the required distance.
