Let the line L\mathrm{L} intersect the lines x−2=−y=z−1,2(x+1)=2(y−1)=z+1x-2=-y=z-1,2(x+1)=2(y-1)=z+1 and be parallel to the line x−23=y−11=z−22\frac{x-2}{3}=\frac{y-1}{1}=\frac{z-2}{2} . Then which of the following points lies on L\mathrm{L} ?

Multiple Choice Options

  • A (−13,1,−1)\left(-\frac{1}{3}, 1,-1\right)

  • C (−13,−1,−1)\left(-\frac{1}{3},-1,-1\right)
  • D (−13,1,1)\left(-\frac{1}{3}, 1,1\right)

Step-by-Step Verified Solution

amp;L1:x−21=y−1=z−11=λamp;L2:x+1(1/2)=y−1(1/2)=z+11=μ\begin{aligned}& L_1: \frac{x-2}{1}=\frac{y}{-1}=\frac{z-1}{1}=\lambda \\& L_2: \frac{x+1}{(1 / 2)}=\frac{y-1}{(1 / 2)}=\frac{z+1}{1}=\mu\end{aligned}

Any point of L1L_1 and L2L_2 will be (λ+2,−λ,λ+1)(\lambda+2,-\lambda, \lambda+1) and (μ2−1,μ2+1,μ−1)\left(\frac{\mu}{2}-1, \frac{\mu}{2}+1, \mu-1\right)

Now Dr of line <\lambda-\frac{\mu}{2}+3,-\lambda-\frac{\mu}{2}-1, \lambda-\mu+2>

Now λ−μ3+33=−λ−μ2−11=λ−μ+22\frac{\lambda-\frac{\mu}{3}+3}{3}=\frac{-\lambda-\frac{\mu}{2}-1}{1}=\frac{\lambda-\mu+2}{2}

λ−μ3+3=−3λ−3μ2−3...(1)2(λ−μ3+3)=3(λ−μ+2)...(2)}λ=−43,μ=−23

∴\therefore \quad Points will be (23,43,−13)\left(\frac{2}{3}, \frac{4}{3}, \frac{-1}{3}\right) and (−43,23,−53)\left(\frac{-4}{3}, \frac{2}{3}, \frac{-5}{3}\right)

∴L\therefore \quad L will be x−233=y−431=z+132\frac{x-\frac{2}{3}}{3}=\frac{y-\frac{4}{3}}{1}=\frac{z+\frac{1}{3}}{2}

∴(−13,1,−1)\therefore \quad\left(\frac{-1}{3}, 1,-1\right) will satisfy LL
