Solution

The correct option is D (7, -1, 4).
If n be the normal of the plane ABC, then
n=AB×AC=3i8jk
Plane is (ra).n=0or r.n=a.nor r.(3i+8j+k)=17 ...(1)
The given line is r=(1+2t)i+(1)j+(1+t)k=0 ...(2)
For point of intersection we have from (1) and (2) 3(1+2t)8+(1+t)=17
7t=21 or t=3 putting for t in (2) the point of intersection is given by r=7ij+4k.
Its co-ordinates are (7,1,4).
