Solution

The correct option is D 3:10
Let the plane r.(i2j+2k)=17 divide the line joining the points
2i+4j+7k and 3i5j+8k in the ratio t:1 at the point P.
P is 3t2t+1i+5t+4t+1j+8t+7t+1k.
This lies on the given plane,
3t2t+1.1+5t+4t+1(2)+8t+7t+1(2)=17
3t2+10t8+24t+21=17t+17
20t=1721+10=6620=310
Reqd. ratio is 3:10.
