  1. A (4,5,2)
  2. B (-4,5,2)
  3. C (4,-5,2)
  4. D (4,5,-2)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) (4,5,-2)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Equation of line joining points (0,-11,4) and (2,-3,1) is \[ \frac{x-2}{2}=\frac{y+3}{8}=\frac{z-1}{-3}=\lambda \] Let \(P\) is any point of the above line then coordinate of \(P\) is \((2 \lambda+2,8 \lambda-3,-3 \lambda+1)\) \(\therefore \mathrm{DR}^{\prime} \mathrm{s}\) of…
