According to NEP 2020, rote learning is out. The focus has shifted to assessing a student's ability to apply concepts in real-life situations.
Questions derived from real-world passages to test analytical skills.
Testing the logic behind concepts, not just the definition.
Open-ended scenarios that require thinking beyond the textbook.

Let the given line be $\frac{x-1}{3}=\frac{y+1}{2}=\frac{z-4}{3} = \lambda$. Then, any point on the line can be expressed as $(3\lambda + 1, 2\lambda - 1, 3\lambda + 4)$.
Let the point on the line be $P(3\lambda + 1, 2\lambda - 1, 3\lambda + 4)$ and the given point be $A(-1, -1, 2)$. The distance between $P$ and $A$ is given as $2\sqrt{2}$. Using the distance formula: $$PA = \sqrt{((3\lambda + 1) - (-1))^2 + ((2\lambda - 1) - (-1))^2 + ((3\lambda + 4) - 2)^2} = 2\sqrt{2}$$ $$PA = \sqrt{(3\lambda + 2)^2 + (2\lambda)^2 + (3\lambda + 2)^2} = 2\sqrt{2}$$
Squaring both sides: $$(3\lambda + 2)^2 + (2\lambda)^2 + (3\lambda + 2)^2 = (2\sqrt{2})^2$$ $$9\lambda^2 + 12\lambda + 4 + 4\lambda^2 + 9\lambda^2 + 12\lambda + 4 = 8$$ $$22\lambda^2 + 24\lambda + 8 = 8$$ $$22\lambda^2 + 24\lambda = 0$$ $$2\lambda(11\lambda + 12) = 0$$ So, $\lambda = 0$ or $\lambda = -\frac{12}{11}$
Case 1: $\lambda = 0$ The point is $(3(0) + 1, 2(0) - 1, 3(0) + 4) = (1, -1, 4)$ Case 2: $\lambda = -\frac{12}{11}$ The point is $(3(-\frac{12}{11}) + 1, 2(-\frac{12}{11}) - 1, 3(-\frac{12}{11}) + 4) = (-\frac{36}{11} + \frac{11}{11}, -\frac{24}{11} - \frac{11}{11}, -\frac{36}{11} + \frac{44}{11}) = (-\frac{25}{11}, -\frac{35}{11}, \frac{8}{11})$
Final Answer: (1, -1, 4) and (-25/11, -35/11, 8/11)
