Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) Only \(3\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Let the given point be \(P = (\alpha, 2\alpha, 1)\) and its image be \(P' = \left(2\alpha+1, \alpha^2-3\alpha, \dfrac{\alpha-1}{2}\right)\). For \(P'\) to be the image of \(P\) in the given line \(L: \dfrac{x-2}{3}=\dfrac{y-1}{2}=\dfrac{z}{1}\), two conditions must be satisfied:…
