The correct answer is: x-14=y-3-7=z+110


From the diagram,
Coordinates of the point A are 2λ-1,-λ-1,4λ-3 (from the line)
It must satisfy the equation of the plane

2λ-1-2λ-2+4λ-3=6λ=3
So, coordinates of the point A are 5,-4,9
Point B must be the foot of perpendicular for point B
x+11=y+12=z+31=--1-2-3-61+4+1=2
x=1,y=3,z=-1

Direction ratios of <AB'>=<4,-7,10>
So, the equation of projection of line is x-14=y-3-7=z+110
