Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) 1,4,5

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

x - 5 0 = - y α - 3 = z - 2
x - α 0 = y - 1 = z 2 - α
5 - α 0 0 0 3 - α - 2 0 - 1 2 - α = 0
5 - α   3 - α   2 - α - 2 = 0
α - 5   α 2 - 5 α + 6 - 2 = 0
α - 5   α 2 - 5 α + 4 = 0
α = 1 ,  4 5
