Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The given sphere is
`x^(2)+y^(2)+z^(2)+4x-2y-6z-155=0`
Its center is (-2,1,3) and radius `=sqrt(4+1+9+155)=sqrt169=13`

Therefore, distance of centre (-2,1,3) from the plane `12x+4y+3z=327` is
`|(12(-2)+4(1)+3(3)-327)|/(sqrt(144+16+9))`
Hence, the shortest distance is 13.
