Options
- A2
- B3
- C4
- D6
Correct answer
C. 4
Step-by-step solution
Given direction ratios are (2,-1,2) and (K, 3,5) Let be the angle between two lines, then aligned & = (2,-1,2)(K, 3,5) 4+1+4 K^2+9+25 & 45^ = 2 K-3+10 9 K^2+34 & 1 2 = 2 K+7 3 K^2+9+25 & 3 K^2+34 = 2 (2 K+7) & 9 (K^2+34 )=2(2 K+7)^2 & 9 K^2+306=8 K^2+56 K+98 & K^2-56 K+208=0 K=52,4 aligned According to the given options, K=4
