The correct answer is: 2 units
The required plane must contain z-axis and parallel to normal vector of the given plane
A parallel vector to z-axis is <0,0,1>
Normal vector to the given plane is <3,-4,1>
A normal vector to the required plane =i^j^k^0013-41
=4i^+3j^
Required plane contain z axis, so it must pass through 0,0,0
Equation of the required plane is 4x-0+3y-0=04x+3y=0
So, the perpendicular distance from 1,2,3 to 4x+3y=0 is 4+65=2 units
