The correct option is D 3:10
Equation of plane in cartesian form is, x−2y+3z−17=0.....(1)
Assume this plane (1) divide the line segment joining the points (−2,4,7) and (3,−5,8) in m:n ratio
Therefore, mn=−2−2(4)+3(7)−173−2(−5)+3(8)−17=−310<0
Hence, plane (1) divides the given line segment externally 3:10
