Detailed Solution

(a, b, c) equation of line AB is  x2=y3=z6
Its DR’s are < 2, – 3, 6 >
Let the coordinates be < 2r, – 3r, 6r >
DR’s of PN are < 2r – 1, 3r – 2, 6r – 5 >
 It is perpendicular to AB
  2 (2r – 1)– 3(–3r – 2) + 6(6r – 5) = 0
 4r – 2 + 9r + 6 + 36r – 30 = 0
 49r = 26 i.e. r=2649 
(a)  Coordinates of N are  (5249,7849,15649)
(b) Let the coordinates of Q be (2r, – 3r, 6r), then DR’s of  PQ are < 2r – 1, – 3r – 2, 6r – 5 >. Since, PQ is parallel to the plane. 
    3(2r1)+4(3r2)+5(6r5)=0 6r312r8+30r25=0 24r=36,r=32
  Coordinates of Q are (3,92,9) 
Equation of PN is  x13=y2176=z589
