Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\frac{2}{3} \sqrt{78}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\begin{aligned} & x=\frac{2+2}{3}, y=\frac{3+4}{3}, z=\frac{1+6}{3} \\ & P(x, y, z)=\left(\frac{4}{3}, \frac{7}{3}, \frac{7}{3}\right) \\ & \text {. } \begin{array}{ll} & -2,1 \\ B & Q \end{array} \\ & (2,3,1) \quad(\alpha, \beta, \gamma) \quad(3,1,2) \\ & \alpha=\frac{-6+6}{1},…
