Let a unit vector OP^\widehat{O P} makes angles α,β,γ\alpha, \beta, \gamma with the positive directions of the co-ordinate axes OX,OYO X, O Y, OZO Z respectively, where β∈(0,π2)\beta \in\left(0, \frac{\pi}{2}\right). If OP^\widehat{O P} is perpendicular to the plane through points (1,2,3)(1,2,3), (2,3,4)(2,3,4) and (1,5,7)(1,5,7), then which one of the following is true?
