If the lines x = a y + b , z = c y + d and x = a ′ z + b ′ ,    y = c ′    z + d ′ are perpendicular, then
Options
- Ac c ’ + a + a ’ = 0
- Ba a ’ + c + c ’ = 0
- Cb b ’ + c c ’ + 1 = 0
- Da b ’ + b c ’ + 1 = 0
Correct answer
B. a a ’ + c + c ’ = 0
Step-by-step solution
Direction Ratios of the first line i ^ j ^ k ^ 1 - a 0 0 c - 1 = a   i ^ + j ^ + c k ^   Hence, Direction Ratios of the first line are a ,   1 ,   c . For Direction Ratios of the second line i ^ j ^ k ^ 1 0 - a ′ 0 1 - c ′ = a ′ i ^ + c ′ j ^ + k ^ Hence, Direction Ratios of the 2 n d line = a ′ ,   c ′ ,   1 Since, both the lines are perpendicular, a . a ′ + c ′ + c = 0
