Correct answer: C

  1. Write the line in parametric form

Given line: x+35=y−12=z+43=t\frac{x+3}{5}=\frac{y-1}{2}=\frac{z+4}{3}=t5x+3​=2y−1​=3z+4​=t

So a general point on the line is x=−3+5t,y=1+2t,z=−4+3tx=-3+5t,\quad y=1+2t,\quad z=-4+3tx=−3+5t,y=1+2t,z=−4+3t

Hence the foot of the perpendicular from (1,2,3)(1,2,3)(1,2,3) on the line is of the form Q(α,β,γ)=(−3+5t, 1+2t, −4+3t)Q(\alpha,\beta,\gamma)=(-3+5t,\ 1+2t,\ -4+3t)Q(α,β,γ)=(−3+5t, 1+2t, −4+3t) for some ttt.

  1. Use the perpendicularity condition

A point on the line is A(−3,1,−4)A(-3,1,-4)A(−3,1,−4) and the direction vector of the line is d⃗=(5,2,3).\vec d=(5,2,3).d=(5,2,3).

Given point: P(1,2,3)P(1,2,3)P(1,2,3)

For QQQ to be the foot of the perpendicular, vector PQ→\overrightarrow{PQ}PQ​ must be perpendicular to the line's direction vector.

Now, Q=A+td⃗Q=A+t\vec dQ=A+td so Q=(−3+5t,1+2t,−4+3t).Q=(-3+5t,1+2t,-4+3t).Q=(−3+5t,1+2t,−4+3t).

Then PQ→=Q−P=(−3+5t−1, 1+2t−2, −4+3t−3)=(5t−4, 2t−1, 3t−7).\overrightarrow{PQ}=Q-P=(-3+5t-1,\ 1+2t-2,\ -4+3t-3)=(5t-4,\ 2t-1,\ 3t-7).PQ​=Q−P=(−3+5t−1, 1+2t−2, −4+3t−3)=(5t−4, 2t−1, 3t−7).

Perpendicularity gives PQ→⋅d⃗=0\overrightarrow{PQ}\cdot \vec d=0PQ​⋅d=0

So, (5t−4)(5)+(2t−1)(2)+(3t−7)(3)=0(5t-4)(5)+(2t-1)(2)+(3t-7)(3)=0(5t−4)(5)+(2t−1)(2)+(3t−7)(3)=0

25t−20+4t−2+9t−21=025t-20+4t-2+9t-21=025t−20+4t−2+9t−21=0

38t−43=038t-43=038t−43=0

t=4338t=\frac{43}{38}t=3843​

  1. Find α,β,γ\alpha,\beta,\gammaα,β,γ

α=−3+5⋅4338=−11438+21538=10138\alpha=-3+5\cdot \frac{43}{38}=-\frac{114}{38}+\frac{215}{38}=\frac{101}{38}α=−3+5⋅3843​=−38114​+38215​=38101​

β=1+2⋅4338=3838+8638=12438=6219\beta=1+2\cdot \frac{43}{38}=\frac{38}{38}+\frac{86}{38}=\frac{124}{38}=\frac{62}{19}β=1+2⋅3843​=3838​+3886​=38124​=1962​

γ=−4+3⋅4338=−15238+12938=−2338\gamma=-4+3\cdot \frac{43}{38}=-\frac{152}{38}+\frac{129}{38}=-\frac{23}{38}γ=−4+3⋅3843​=−38152​+38129​=−3823​

  1. Compute α+β+γ\alpha+\beta+\gammaα+β+γ

Using denominator 383838: β=6219=12438\beta=\frac{62}{19}=\frac{124}{38}β=1962​=38124​

Thus, α+β+γ=10138+12438−2338=20238=10119\alpha+\beta+\gamma=\frac{101}{38}+\frac{124}{38}-\frac{23}{38}=\frac{202}{38}=\frac{101}{19}α+β+γ=38101​+38124​−3823​=38202​=19101​

Therefore, 19(α+β+γ)=19⋅10119=10119(\alpha+\beta+\gamma)=19\cdot \frac{101}{19}=10119(α+β+γ)=19⋅19101​=101

  1. Match with options

19(α+β+γ)=10119(\alpha+\beta+\gamma)=10119(α+β+γ)=101

So the correct option is C.
