A plane makes intercepts `-6,3,4` upon the coordinate axes. Then, the length of the perpendicular from the origin on it is

A

`(2)/(sqrt(29))`

B

`(3)/(sqrt(29))`

C

`(4)/(sqrt(29))`

D

`(12)/(sqrt(29))`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D

The perpendicular distance from origin to the above plane
`=(|0+0+0-1|)/(sqrt(((1)/(6))^(2)+((1)/(3))^(2)+((1)/(4))^(2)))`
`=(1)/(sqrt((4+16+9)/(144)))=(12)/(sqrt(29))`
