Given: L2 passes through A(−4,4,3)andB(−1,6,3).
⇒L2:3x+4=2y−4=0z−3
Also, L1:2x−1=−3y+1=2z+4
We know that, shortest distance between L1:a1x−x1=b1y−y1=c1z−z1 and L2:a2x−x2=b2y−y2=c2z−z2 is given by,
∣(a1b2−a2b1)2+(b1c2−b2c1)2+(c1a2−c2a1)2∣x2−x1a1a2y2−y1b1b2z2−z1c1c2∣∣.
So, shortest distance, D=∣(4+9)2+(0−4)2+(6−0)2∣−4−1231+4−324+320∣∣
⇒D=∣169+16+36∣−5235−32720∣∣
⇒D=∣22131×3+48∣
⇒D=221141
