(x-a)/3 = (y-b)/ (-4) = (z-c)/12 = -2 (3a-4b+12c+19)/ (3²+ (-4)²+12²)
(x-a)/3 = (y-b)/ (-4) = (z-c)/12 = (-6a+8b-24c-38)/169
(x, y, z) = (a–6, β, γ)
(a-b)-a)/3 = (β-b)/ (-4) = (γ-c)/12 = (-6a+8b-24c-38)/169
(β-b)/ (-4) = -2
=> β = 8+b
=> 3a – 4b + 12c = 150 . (i)
a + b + c = 5
=> 3a + 3b + 3c = 15 . (ii)
Applying (i) – (ii), we get :
= 56 + 216 + 7b – 9c = 56 + 216 – 135 = 137

(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
