Solution

The correct option is C r=(i+3j+5k)+t(i+5j+32k)
We have to find the equation of the line parallel to x31=y+35=2z53 and passing through the point (1,3,5) vector form.

We know that the equation of the line passing through the point with position vector a and parallel to the vector b is r=a+tb

Consider x31=y+35=2z53

Rewriting we get x31=y+35=z5232

Thus vector representation is b=i+5j+32k

Since line passes through (1,3,5), a=i+3j+5k

Hence the required equation of the line is r=(i+3j+5k)+t(i+5j+32k)
