Mid point P = (3,1,1)
Normal of plane is along the line AB.
D.R.'s of normal = 4-2, -2-4, 3-1 (-1) = 2, -6, 4
= 1, -3, 2
Plane -> 1 (x-3) - 3 (y-1) + 2 (z-1) = 0
=> x - 3y + 2z - 2 = 0

Equation of
AB = r = (î + j) + λ (3j - 3k)
Let coordinates of M
= (1, (1 + 3λ), -3λ).
PM = -3î + (3λ - 1)j - 3 (λ + 1)k
AB = 3j - 3k
? PM ⊥ AB ⇒ PM · AB = 0
⇒ 3 (3λ - 1) + 9 (λ + 1) = 0
⇒ λ = -1/3
∴ M = (1,0,1)
Clearly M lies on 2x + y - z = 1.

r = î (1 + 12l) + j (-1) + k (l)
r = î (2 + m) + j (m - 1) + k (-m)
For intersection
1 + 2l = 2 + m
-1 = m - 1
l = -m
from (ii) m = 0
from (iii) l = 0
These values of m and l do not satisfy equation (1).
Hence the two lines do not intersect for any values of l and m.

Normal to plane is n= (-4i+5j+7k).
Plane: -4 (x-3)+5 (y-1)+7 (z-1)=0 ⇒ -4x+5y+7z=0.
Passes through (α, -3,5) ⇒ -4α-15+35=0 ⇒ α=5.

Two points on the line (say) x/3 = y/2, z=1 are (0,0,1) and (3,2,1)
So dr's of the line is (3,2,0)
Line passing through (1,2,1), parallel to L and coplanar with given plane is r = i+2j+k + t (3i+2j), t∈R (-2,0,1) satisfies the line (for t=-1)
⇒ (-2,0,1) lies on given plane.
Answer of the question is (B)
We can check other options by finding equation of plane
Equation plane: |x-1, y-2, z-1; 1+2, 2-0, 1-1; 2+2, 1-0, 2-1| = 0
⇒ 2 (x-1)-3 (y-2)-5 (z-1)=0
⇒ 2x-3y-5z+9=0

L: x/1=y/0=z/-1. Let a point on L be (r,0, -r).
Direction ratio of PN is (r-1, -2, -r+1).
PN is perpendicular to L, so (r-1) (1)+ (-2) (0)+ (-r+1) (-1)=0 ⇒ 2r-2=0 ⇒ r=1. N (1,0, -1).
Let Q be (s,0, -s). Direction ratio of PQ is (s-1, -2, -s+1).
PQ is parallel to plane x+y+2z=0, so normal to plane is perp to PQ.
(s-1) (1)+ (-2) (1)+ (-s+1) (2)=0 ⇒ s-1-2-2s+2=0 ⇒ -s-1=0 ⇒ s=-1. Q (-1,0,1).
PN = (0, -2,0). PQ= (-2, -2,2).
cosα = |PN.PQ|/|PN|PQ| = 4/ (2√12) = 1/√3.
