Solution
The correct option is C−4 Let the third vertex of triangle is (h,k,l) Perpendicular and base in vector form : (h,k−1,l−2) and (h−1,k−2,l). Dot product of two perpendicular lines is zero. ⇒(h,k−1,l−2).(h−1,k−2,l)=0 ⇒h2−h+k2−3k+2+l2−2l=0 ⇒h2+k2+l2−h−3k−2l+2=0 Put (x,y,z) for (h,k,l) it will give locus of third vertex. So, a+b+c+d=−4
