$\triangle ABC$ is formed by $A(1, 8, 4)$,$B(0, -11, 4)$ and $C(2, -3, 1)$. If $D$ is the foot of the perpendicular from $A$ to $BC$,then the coordinates of $D$ are

  • A
    $(– 4, 5, 2)$
  • B
    $(4, 5, – 2)$
  • C
    $(4, – 5, 2)$
  • D

If the shortest distance between the lines $\frac{x-\lambda}{2}=\frac{y-4}{3}=\frac{z-3}{4}$ and $\frac{x-2}{4}=\frac{y-4}{6}=\frac{z-7}{8}$ is $\frac{13}{\sqrt{29}}$,then a value of $\lambda$ is :

$L_1$ is a line passing through the points with position vectors $\hat{i}-2 \hat{j}-\hat{k}$ and $4 \hat{i}-3 \hat{k}$. $L_2$ is a line passing through the points with position vectors $\hat{i}+2 \hat{j}-\hat{k}$ and $2 \hat{i}-4 \hat{j}-5 \hat{k}$. Then the distance between $L_1$ and $L_2$ is

Let $P(\alpha, \beta, \gamma)$ be the point on the line $\frac{x-1}{2} = \frac{y+1}{-3} = \frac{z}{1}$ at a distance $4\sqrt{14}$ from the point $(1, -1, 0)$ and nearer to the origin. Then the shortest distance between the lines $\frac{x-\alpha}{1} = \frac{y-\beta}{2} = \frac{z-\gamma}{3}$ and $\frac{x+5}{2} = \frac{y-10}{1} = \frac{z-3}{1}$ is equal to

Let $P$ be the foot of the perpendicular from the point $A(1, 2, 2)$ on the line $L: \frac{x-1}{1} = \frac{y+1}{-1} = \frac{z-2}{2}$. Let the line $\overrightarrow{r} = (-\hat{i} + \hat{j} - 2\hat{k}) + \lambda(\hat{i} - \hat{j} + \hat{k})$,$\lambda \in R$,intersect the line $L$ at $Q$. Then $2(PQ)^2$ is equal to:

If $A(-2, 4, a)$,$B(1, b, 3)$,$C(c, 0, 4)$,and $D(-5, 6, 1)$ are collinear points,then $a+b+c=$
