The shortest distance between the lines x-41= y-32= z-2-3 and x+22= y-64= z-5-5 is :

  1. 5 66
  2. 2 5
  3. 3 5
  4. 4 5

Answer

(3) 3 5

Solution

Line 1: a1=4 i+3 j+2 k, b1= i+2 j-3 k

Line 2: a2=-2 i+6 j+5 k, b2=2 i+4 j-5 k

b1 b2= vmatrix i & j & k\ 1 & 2 & -3\ 2 & 4 & -5 vmatrix=2 i- j+0 k

| b1 b2 |= 5

a2- a1=-6 i+3 j+3 k

SD = | ( a2- a1 ) ( b1 b2 ) | | b1 b2 |= |-12-3+0| 5

SD = 15 5=3 5

Answer: (3)
