Solution

The correct option is B (4,7,9)
Given, equation of line is
x21=y+32=z+52
DR's of given line is <1,2,2>
Then, DC's of given line is <13,23,23>
Thus, the given equation can be rewritten as
x213=y+323=z+523=r [say]
Any point on the line is (2+r3,32r3,52r3)
where, r=±6
Hence, points are (4,7,9) and (0,1,1).
