Solution

The correct option is A 26
Direction ratio's of given line
∣ ∣ ∣^i^j^k032301∣ ∣ ∣=^i(3)^j(6)+^k(9)
=3^i6^j9^k

Let z=0y=13 and x=43
Line in Cartesian form is
x+433=y136=z9

Let point of shortest distance be P(λ) i.e.
P(λ43,2λ+13,3λ) and Q(2,1,6)

For shortest distance PQ(^i+2^j+3^k)=0
((103+λ)^i+(2λ43)^j+(6+3λ)^k)(^i+2^j+3^k)=0
λ=43
P(0,3,4)
|PQ|=26
