If \(x\)-coordinate of a point \(P\) on the line joining the points \(Q(2,2,1)\) and \(R(5,1,-2)\) is 4 , then the \(z\)-coordinate of \(P\) is

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

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(-1\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Let \(P\) divide \(Q(2,2,1)\) and \(R(5,1,-2)\) in the ratio of \(m: 1\). \(\therefore \quad P\left(\frac{5 m+2}{m+1}, \frac{m+2}{m+1}, \frac{-2 m+1}{m+1}\right)\) But it is given \(\frac{5 m+2}{m+1}=4\).…
