Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \((3,-1,1)\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Let point be \((a, b, c)\), then \(2 a+4 b-c=1 \quad \ldots\) (i)
and \(a=2 k+1, b=-3 k+2\) and \(c=4 k-3\)
(where \(k\) is constant)
On substituting these values in Eq. (i), we get
\(
2(2 k+1)+4(-3 k+2)-(4 k-3)=1
\)
\(\Rightarrow\) \(k=1\)
Hence, required point is \((3,-1,1)\).
