Options:(select one or more)

Answer:
B, C, D
Solution:

O 0,0,0Origin
P 3,0,0on x axis
R 0,3,0on y axis
Q 3,3,0
T 32,32,0 , 5 32,32,3


Given OP = OR = 3 and OPQR is a square
OQ=32       OT=32andST=3
Let θ be a angle between OQ & OS
UsingΔSOT, tanθ=STOT= 2     θ=tan-12

Clearly, equation of plane containing triangle OQS is x - y = 0   as O 0,0,0, Q 3,3,0, S 32,32, 3  lies on it
let ax+by+cz=d
0,0,0 ⇒ d=0
3,3,0 ⇒ a+b=0
32,32,3 3a2+3b2+3c=0
c=0
b=-a
x-y=0
Also, length of perpendicular from P to the plane containing the triangle OQS is PT=32.
Also equation of RS isr=3j^+t 32i^-32j^+3k^
=3t2, 3-3t2, 3t

Let M be foot offrom origin on line passing through R,S
Let co - ordinates ofM=3t2, 3-3t2, 3t
OM . RS=0
94t-323-3t2+9t=0
9t2+9t=92
t=13
M=12,52, 1
OM= 14+254+1= 304= 152
