Detailed Solution

 Let M be the foot of perpendicular from (7,14,5) to the given plane, then PM is normal to the plane. So, its d.r.'s are 2,4,-1 . Since PM passes 

 through P(7,14,5) and has d.r.'s 2,4,-1

 Therefore, its equation is x72=y144=z51=r , x=2r+7,y=4r+14,z=r+5 Co-ordinates of M be (2r+7,4r+14,r+5) Since M lies on the plane 2x+4yz=2, therefore 2(2r+7)+4(4r+14)(r+5)=2r=3 Co-ordinates of foot of perpendicular are M(1,2,8) . PM= Length of perpendicular from P=(17)2+(214)2+(85)2=321.
