Finding the value bold italic a bold plus bold italic b bold plus bold italic c:

Given, (a,b,c)is the image of the point (1,2,-3)

Line is x+12=y-3-2=z-1=ฮป Let point Mis (2ฮปโˆ’1,โˆ’2ฮป+3,โˆ’ฮป)

Direction ration of PP'โ‰ก(2ฮปโˆ’2,โˆ’2ฮป+1,3โˆ’ฮป)

PM is Perpendicular to line

2(2ฮปโˆ’2)โˆ’2(โˆ’2ฮป+1)โˆ’1(3โˆ’ฮป)=0โ‡’4ฮปโˆ’4+4ฮปโˆ’2โˆ’3+ฮป=0โ‡’9ฮป=9โ‡’ฮป=1

Point M is (1,1,โˆ’1)

a+12=1โ‡’a=1,b+22=1โ‡’b=0, c-32=-1โ‡’c=1

Therefore, a+b+c=2

Hence, correct option is (A)
