Let L be a line obtained from the intersection of two planes x+2y+z=6 and y+2z=4. If point P(α,β,γ) is the foot of perpendicular from (3,2,1) on L, then the value of 21(α+β+γ) equals:

Solution
The correct option is A102 Equation of the line x+2y+z−6=0=y+2z=4
or x+23=y−4−2=z1=λ
D.r.'s of PQ:3λ−5,−2λ−2,λ−1
D.r.'s of y lines are (3,−2,1)
Since PQ⊥ line 3(3λ−5)−2(−2λ+2)+1(λ−1)=0 ⇒λ=107 ∴P≡(167,87,107)≡(α,β,γ)
Hence 21(α+β+γ)=21(347)=102
