The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

The direction ratios of the line are $3 - 2, - 4 - (-3), - 5 -1 $
i.e. $1, -1, - 6$
Hence equation of the line joining the given points.
is $\frac{x-2}{1} = \frac{y+3}{-1} = \frac{z-1}{-6} = r$ (say)
Coordinates of any point on this line are
$(r + 2, - r - 3, - 6r + 1)$
If this point lies on the given plane $2x + y + z = 7$,
then $2(r + 2) + (- r - 3) + (- 6r + 1) = 7 $
$\Rightarrow r = - 1$
Coordinates of any point on this line are
$(- 1 + 2, - (- 1) - 3, - 6 (-1) + 1)$ i.e. $(1, - 2, 7)$

Fundamental Theorem of Calculus

Fundamental Theorem of Calculus is the theorem which states that differentiation and integration are opposite processes (or operations) of one another.

Calculus's fundamental theorem connects the notions of differentiating and integrating functions. The first portion of the theorem - the first fundamental theorem of calculus – asserts that by integrating f with a variable bound of integration, one of the antiderivatives (also known as an indefinite integral) of a function f, say F, can be derived. This implies the occurrence of antiderivatives for continuous functions.
