The distance of point P(a, b, c) from the y-axis is:
Show Hint
- \( b \)
- \( b^2 \)
- \( \sqrt{a^2 + c^2} \)
- \( a^2 + c^2 \)
The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
The distance of a point \( P(a, b, c) \) from the y-axis is the perpendicular distance from \( P \) to the y-axis.
The y-axis corresponds to the line where \( x = 0 \) and \( z = 0 \).
The perpendicular distance is: \[ \text{Distance} = \sqrt{(a - 0)^2 + (c - 0)^2} = \sqrt{a^2 + c^2}. \]
Therefore, the correct answer is (C) \( \sqrt{a^2 + c^2} \).

- Assertion (A): For the matrix \[ A = \begin{bmatrix} 1 & \cos \theta & 1 \\ -\cos \theta & 1 & \cos \theta \\ -1 & -\cos \theta & 1 \end{bmatrix}, \quad \text{where } \theta \in [0, 2\pi], \] \(|A| \in [2, 4]\).
Reason (R): \(\cos \theta \in [-1, 1], \ \forall \ \theta \in [0, 2\pi].\) Assertion (A): A line in space cannot be drawn perpendicular to \( x \), \( y \), and \( z \) axes simultaneously.
Reason (R): For any line making angles \( \alpha, \beta, \gamma \) with the positive directions of \( x \), \( y \), and \( z \) axes respectively, \[ \cos^2\alpha + \cos^2\beta + \cos^2\gamma = 1. \]- The image of point \(P(x, y, z)\) with respect to the line: \[ \frac{x}{1} = \frac{y - 1}{2} = \frac{z - 2}{3}, \] is \(P'(1, 0, 7)\).
