Answer:
Three points A,B,C are collinear if direction ratios of AB and BC are proportional.
A(2,3,4) and B(−1,−2,1)
Direction ratios =−1−2,−2−3,1−4
=−3,−5,−3
So, a
1
=−3,b
1
=−5,c
1
=−3
B(−1,−2,1) and C(5,8,7)
Direction ratios =5−(−1),8−(−2),7−1
=6,10,6
so, a
2
=6,b
2
=10,c
2
=6
Now,
a

a

=

=−2
b

=

=−2
c

=

=−2
Since

c

=−2
Therefore, A,B,C are collinear.
