The vertices $B$ and $C$ of a $\Delta ABC$ lie on the line $\frac{x + 2}{3} = \frac{y - 1}{0} = \frac{z}{4}$ such that $BC = 5 \text{ units}$. If the vertex $A$ is $(1, -1, 2)$,then the area of this triangle (in $\text{sq. units}$) is:

  • A
    $2\sqrt{34}$
  • B
    $\sqrt{34}$
  • C
    $6$
  • D
    $5\sqrt{17}$

The shortest distance between the lines $\vec{r} = (\frac{1}{3}\hat{i} + 2\hat{j} + \frac{8}{3}\hat{k}) + \lambda(2\hat{i} - 5\hat{j} + 6\hat{k})$ and $\vec{r} = (-\frac{2}{3}\hat{i} - \frac{1}{3}\hat{k}) + \mu(\hat{i} - \hat{k})$, where $\lambda, \mu \in R$, is:

Let $(\alpha, \beta, \gamma)$ be the coordinates of the foot of the perpendicular drawn from the point $(5, 4, 2)$ on the line $\vec{r} = (-\hat{i} + 3\hat{j} + \hat{k}) + \lambda(2\hat{i} + 3\hat{j} - \hat{k})$. Then the length of the projection of the vector $\alpha\hat{i} + \beta\hat{j} + \gamma\hat{k}$ on the vector $6\hat{i} + 2\hat{j} + 3\hat{k}$ is:
