Detailed Solution

Given that, line  x41=y21=z72
Line is passing through point P(4,+2,7)  and direction ratios (1,1,2) and lies on the given plane  ax+by+z=7
So, point will satisfy the equation of plane
 a(4)+b(+2)+(7)=7
 4a+2b=0                        ..................(i)
Now direction ratios of the line and direction ratios of the plane will be perpendicular so their product must be zero
 a1a2+b1b2+c1c2=(1)(a)+(1)(b)+(2)(1)
  0=a+b+2
or  a+b=2
