The angle between the lines and is :
- A
- B
- C
- D
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: B
- Find direction ratios of each line
For the line let the common value be . Then so Hence a direction ratio vector is Multiplying by , we can take direction ratios as
For the line let the common value be . Then so Hence a direction ratio vector is Multiplying by , we can take direction ratios as
- Use the angle formula between two lines
If is the angle between the lines, then
Compute the dot product:
Thus, So,
- Check options
- A: ❌
- B: ✅
- C: ❌
- D: ❌
Therefore, the angle between the lines is
