Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \((9,13,15)\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\[ \text { Let } A=(9,13,15) \] \[ \begin{aligned} & B=(12,21,10) \\ & P=(5,7,3) \text { and } Q=(x, y, z) \end{aligned} \] Dr's of \(\overleftrightarrow{A B}=(9-12,13-21,15-10)\) \[ =(-3,-8,5)=(3,8,-5) \] Equation of line \(\overleftrightarrow{A B}\) is…
