The correct option is C (3,4,2)
R.E.F image
Given point = (1,0,0)
Given line x12=y+13=2+108=λ
x=2λ+1;y=3λ1 z=8λ10
(2λ+1,3λ1,8λ10)Q=(x,y,z)
from line PQ=(2λ+11,3λ1+0,8λ10+0)
PQ=(2λ,3λ1,8λ10)=0
from (2,3,8) to PQ
2(2λ)3(3λ1)+8(8λ10)=0
4λ+9λ+3+64λ80=0
77λ77=0
λ=7777=1
coordinate of foot of erQ=(3,4,2)
2λ+1
2(1)+1
=3

3λ1
3(1)1
=4
8λ10
8(1)=10
=2
