Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) (-3,8,-2)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Let the point be \(P(5,4,2)\) and the line be \(\vec{r}=(-\hat{i}+3 \hat{j}+\hat{k})+\lambda(2 \hat{i}+3 \hat{j}-\hat{k})\). General point \(M\) on the line: \(M(-1+2\lambda, 3+3\lambda, 1-\lambda)\). Vector…
