Correct answer: B
-
Let the required line pass through the two intersection points, one on each given line, and have direction ratios proportional to .
-
Parametrize the first line:
Given . Let x=z=t, y=t-a. So a general point on the first line is
-
Parametrize the second line:
Given . Let Then So a general point on the second line is
-
Since the line joining and has direction ratios proportional to , we must have
Compute: [ Q-P=\left(s-a-t,\frac{s}{2}-(t-a),\frac{s}{2}-t\right). ]
Hence,
-
Equate components:
-
From (3), Using this in (1):
-
Substitute into (3): From (2):
Therefore,
-
Now find the points.
On the first line:
On the second line:
-
So the two intersection points are
-
Comparing with the options, this is Option B.
-
Comparison with stored correct answer:
Stored correct answer = B.
Our derived answer also = B.
Hence, they agree.
