Detailed Solution
Let the equation of variable line be ax+by+c=0, it is given that ∑i=16axi+byi+ca2+b2=0⇒a(∑xi6)+b(∑yi6)+c=0So, the fixed point must be ∑xi6, ∑yi6. But fixed point is (2,1) so 2+3+7+h1+h2+h3/6=2⇒h1+h2+h3=0⇒h1=0, h2=0, h3=0(as h1, h2, h3 are non-negative) similarly, we getk1+k2+k3+4+5+−36=1⇒k1=k2=k3=0
