Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\left(0, \frac{13}{5}, 2\right)\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Let \(\mathrm{y}_{\mathrm{z}}\) plane divides the join in the ratio \(\lambda: 1\) then
\(\frac{\lambda \times(-2)+1 \times 3}{\lambda+1}=0 \Rightarrow \lambda=\frac{3}{2}\)
So \(\mathrm{y}_{\mathrm{z}}\) plane divides the join in the ratio \(3: 2\).
Hence, the required point is
\( \left(\frac{3 \times(-2)+2 \times 3}{3+2}, \frac{3 \times 1+2 \times 5}{3+2},\ \frac{3 \times 8+2 \times(-7)}{3+2}\right)\)
\(=\left(0, \frac{13}{5}, 2\right)\)
