Detailed Solution

At (0,0,0), x – y – z – 2 = –2
= (–ve) at (2,3,1), x – y – z – 2 = 2 –3 – 1 – 2 = – 4
Since, both have same sign (0, 0, 0) and
(2, 3, 1) lie on the same side of the plane.
Distance =231212+12+12=43
Equation of a line perpendicular to the plane
x –y –z –2 = 0 and passing through the point (2,3,1) is x21y31z11=λ
A point on the line is (λ+2,3λ,1λ) and it lies
and the plane x – y – z – 2 = 0
if  λ+23+λ1=λ2=043
Foot of perpendicular on the plane is
43+2,343,143=103,53,13
