The correct answer is: a+2b+c=1

Direction cosines l,m and n of given vector v,

l=cos60=12

m=cos45=12

n=cosγ

v=cos60°i^+cos45°j^+cosγk^....(1)

We know,

l2+m2+n2=1

14+12+cos2γ=1  (γAcute)

cosγ=12

 γ=60°

Equation of plane is 12x-2+12y+1+12z-1=0

x2+y2+z2=12

  x+2y+z=1

a,b,c lies on it,

  a+2b+c=1
