Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 2

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Let \(A(3,2,-4)\) and \(B(9,8,-10)\) be two points \(P\), divide \(A B\) in \(1: 2\) So, coordinate of \[ \begin{aligned} & P_1\left(\frac{2 \times 3+9}{3}, \frac{2 \times 2+1 \times 8}{3}, \frac{2 \times(-4)+1(-10)}{3}\right) \\ & \Rightarrow P_1(5,4,-6) \end{aligned} \] Now,…
