Solution

The correct option is C 4
Let the third vertex of triangle is (h,k,l)
Perpendicular and base in vector form : (h,k1,l2) and (h1,k2,l).
Dot product of two perpendicular lines is zero.
(h,k1,l2).(h1,k2,l)=0
h2h+k23k+2+l22l=0
h2+k2+l2h3k2l+2=0
Put (x,y,z) for (h,k,l) it will give locus of third vertex.
So, a+b+c+d=4
