If the points \(A(-1,0,7), B(3,2, t), C(5, k,-2)\) are collinear, then the ratio in which the point \(P(t, k-2 t, t+k)\) divides the line segment \(B C\) is

  1. A \(-2: 3\)
  2. B \(-1: 2\)
  3. C \(4: 3\)
  4. D \(1: 1\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(-1: 2\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

We have, \(A(-1,0,7), B(3,2, t)\) and \(C(5, k,-2)\) are collinear. \(\therefore \quad \frac{3+1}{5-3}=\frac{2-0}{k-2}=\frac{t-7}{-2-t}\)…
