First rewrite both lines in standard form (C). Then apply perpendicularity condition (dot product = 0) on direction ratios (B). Simplify to get equation in p (D). Further simplify (E). Finally solve to get p=70/11 (A).
The correct order of steps from A to E, for finding value of p, so that the lines 31−x=2p7y−14=2z−3 and 3p7−7x=1y−5=56−z are at right angle is:
A. p=1170
B. (−3)×(7−3p)+1×(72p)+2×(−5)=0
C. −3x−1=27py−2=2z−3, −73px−1=1y−5=−5z−6
D. 79p+72p−10=0
E. 711p=10

The shortest distance between the following lines: $\vec{r} = (\hat{i} + \hat{j} - \hat{k}) + s(2\hat{i} + \hat{j} + \hat{k})$ $\vec{r} = (\hat{i} + \hat{j} + 2\hat{k}) + t(4\hat{i} + 2\hat{j} + 2\hat{k})$, where s and t are scalars, is:
The angle between the line $2x = 3y = z$ and $x$- axis is:
The angle at which the line, $\frac{x-1}{0} = \frac{2-y}{-1} = \frac{2z-3}{-2}$ is inclined with the positive direction of z-axis is
$\sin^{-1}(\cos\frac{3\pi}{5})$ equals
If lines $\frac{x+5}{5\lambda+2} = \frac{4-2y}{10} = \frac{1-3z}{-3}$ and $\frac{x-2}{1} = \frac{1+2y}{4\lambda} = \frac{2+z}{3}$ are perpendicular, than value of '$\lambda$' is
