 The line passing through the points (5,1,a) and (3,b,1) crosses the yz-plane at the point 0,172,132then

a
a=2,b=8
b
a=4,b=6
c
a=6,b=4
d
a=8,b=2

detailed solution

Correct option is C

Equation of the line passing through 5,1,a and 3,b,1 is x-52=y-11-b=z-aa-1Let x-52=y-11-b=z-aa-1=λ(say)⇒x=2λ+5, y=λ1-b+1, z=λa-1+a The line meets yz-plane at 0,172,-132 ⇒2λ+5=0, λ1-b+1=172 and λa-1+a=-132 ⇒λ=-52 and b=4, a=6
