(5/3, 7/3, 17/3)
AD ⋅ PD = 0
((5/3-α)i?+(7/3-7)j?+(17/3-1)k?) . (2/3i?+7/3j?+8/3k?) = 0
(5/3-α)(2/3) + (-14/3)(7/3) + (14/3)(8/3) = 0
A(α, 7, 1) D(7/3, 7/3, 12/3)
⇒ 3α = 12
α = 4

(a – 1) × 2 + (b – 2) × 5 + (g – 3) × 1 = 0
2a + 5b + g – 15 = 0
Also, P lie on line
a + 1 = 2λ
b – 2 = 5λ
g – 4 = λ
2 (2λ – 1) + 5 (5λ + 2) + λ + 4 – 15 = 0
4λ + 25λ + λ – 2 + 10 + 4 – 15 = 0
30λ – 3 = 0
a + b + g = (2λ – 1) + (5λ + 2) + (λ + 4)

Take
x = 2λ + 1, y = 3λ + 2, z = 4λ + 3
= (α − 2)
Now,
(α − 2) ⋅ 2 + (β − 3) ⋅3 + (γ − 4) ⋅ 4 = 0
2α − 4 + 3β − 9 + 4γ −16 = 0
⇒ 2α + 3β + 4γ = 29
