In R3, let L be a straight line passing through the origin. Suppose that all the points on L are at a constant distance from the two planes P1: x + 2y – z + 1 = 0 and P2 : 2x – y + z – 1 = 0. Let M be the locus of the feet of the perpendiculars drawn from the points on L to the plane P1. Which of the following points lie(s) on M?
