If lines x-1 -3 = y-2 2 k = z-3 2 and x-1 3 k = y-5 1 = z-6 -5 are mutually perpendicular, then k is equal to
Options
- A- 10 7
- B- 7 10
- C-10
- D-7
Correct answer
A. - 10 7
Step-by-step solution
x-1 -3 = y-2 2 k = z-3 2 and x-1 3 k = y-5 1 = z-6 -5 b ₁=-3 i +2 j +2 k and b ₂=3 k i + j -5 k Now, b ₁ b ₂= 0 -9 k+2 k-10=0 -7 k=10 k= -10 7 Hence, the value of k is - 10 7
