Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \((A) - (III), (B) - (IV), (C) - (I), (D) - (II)\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given line: \(\vec{r}=\hat{i}-2 \hat{j}+4 \hat{k}+\lambda(-\hat{i}+2 \hat{j}-4 \hat{k})\) A. Point on the line: \((1,-2,4)\) → (III) B. Direction ratios of the line: \((-1,2,-4)\) → (IV) C. Direction cosines of the line: \(|\vec{b}|=\sqrt{(-1)^2+2^2+(-4)^2}=\sqrt{21}\)…
