Question: If the direction ratios of two lines are given by $ 3lm-4,ln+mn=0 $ and $ l+2m+3n=0 $ , then the angle between the lines is

[EAMCET 2003]

Options:

A) $ \pi /2 $

B) $ \pi /3 $

C) $ \pi /4 $

D) $ \pi /6 $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: A

Solution:

By solving two equations, $ (l_1,,m_1,,n_1)=(2\sqrt{2}-3,,-\sqrt{2},,1) $ $ (l_2,,m_2,,n_2)=(-2\sqrt{2}-3,,\sqrt{2},,1) $ $ l_1l_2+m_1m_2+n_1n_2=0 $ \ The angle between them is $ \pi /2 $ .
