Let L ₁: x+1 3 = y+2 1 = z +1 2 and L ₂: x-2 1 = y+2 2 = z-3 3 be two given lines. Then the unit vector perpendicular to L₁ and L₂ is
Options
- A- i +7 j +7 k 99
- B- i -7 j +5 k 5 3
- C- i +7 j +5 k 5 3
- D7 i -7 j -7 k 99
Correct answer
B. - i -7 j +5 k 5 3
Step-by-step solution
Vector perpendicular to L ₁ and L ₂ is L ₁ L ₂ aligned & L ₁ L ₂= | array ccc i & j & k 3 & 1 & 2 1 & 2 & 3 array |=- i -7 j +5 k & Required unit vector = - i -7 j +5 k (-1)^2+(-7)^2+(5)^2 & = - i -7 j +5 k 75 = - i -7 j +5 k 5 3 aligned
