Any point P on the given line is  (2r+1,3r1,8r10)
So the direction ratios of AP are 2r, -3r-1, 8r  10
Now AP is perpendicular to the given line if 
2(2r)3(3r2)+8(8r10)=0 77r77=0r=1 
And thus the coordinates of P, the foot of the perpendicular from A on the line are (3, -4, -2)
Let B(a, b, c) be the reflection of A in the given line. Then P is the mid-point of AB
a+12=3,  b2=4,  c2=2a=5,b=8,c=4 
Thus, the coordinates of required point are (5, -8, -4)
