Solution

Given,

A2i^+j^-k^, Bλi^+5j^+4k^, C-4i^+3j^+2k^ and D-i^-2j^+3k^ are four points in space such that AB→=xAC→+yAD→

So, AB→=xAC→+yAD→

⇒λ-2i^+4j^+5k^=x-6i^+2j^+3k^+y-3i^-3j^+4k^

Now on comparing coefficient i^, j^ & k^ we get,

⇒λ-2=-6x-3y ........1

⇒4=2x-3y ................2

⇒5=3x+4y ...............3

Now solving 2 & 3 we get,

x=3117 & y=-217

Now putting the value of x & y in equation 1 we get,

λ-2=-6×3117-3×-217

⇒λ=-14617

Then 17λ+9=17-14617+9=7

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
