Step-by-step explanation

Given plane contain line x-41=y+1-2=z1 and 4ax-y+5z-7a=0=2x-5y-z-3

So equation of plane A

4ax-y+5z-7a+λ2x-5y-z-3=0 will satisfy 4,-1,0

16a+1-7a+λ8+5-3=0

9a+1+10λ=0      1

Now normal vector of the plane A is 4a+2λ,-1-5λ,5-λ and direction ratio along the line which contained the plane A is i-2j+k

Since they will be perpendicular,

So, 4a+2λ+2+10λ+5-λ=0

11λ+4a+7=0      2

Now on solving equation 1 and 2 we get a=1,λ=-1

So, now equation of plane will be x+2y+3z-2=0

Now let the point in the line x-37=y-2-1=z-3-4=t is 7t+3,-t+2,-4t+3 satisfy the equation of plane A x+2y+3z-2=0

7t+3-2t+4+9-12t-2=0

t=2

So α+β+γ=7t+3-t+2-4t+3=2t+8=12
