Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \((1,10,1)\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Coordinates of the point which divides the line joining the points \((2,3,4)\) and \((3,-4,7)\) in the ratio \(2: 4\) externally \[ \begin{aligned} & =\left(\frac{2(3)-4(2)}{2-4}, \frac{2(-4)-4(3)}{2-4}, \frac{2(7)-4(4)}{2-4}\right) \\ & =(1,10,1) \end{aligned} \]
