  4. D \( 7 \)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \( 7 \)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given line,
\[
\frac{x-4}{1}=\frac{y-2}{1}=\frac{z-k}{2} \rightarrow(1)
\]
So, point \( (4,2, \mathrm{k}) \) lies on the line
Given plane, \( 2 x-4 y+z=7 \rightarrow(2) \)
Point \( (4,2, \mathrm{k}) \) satisfies the plane. So,
\[
\begin{array}{l}
2(4)-4(2)+k=7 \\
\Rightarrow 8-8+k=7 \\
\Rightarrow k=7
\end{array}
\]
