Consider the lines and given by . A line having direction ratios 1, 1, 2, intersects and at the points and respectively. Then the length of line segment is
- A
- B
- C4
- D
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: B
- Write the lines in parametric form
For : So a general point on is
For : So a general point on is
- Use the direction ratios of
Given has direction ratios and intersects at and at .
Hence the vector must be parallel to .
So, must satisfy for some scalar .
Now,
Thus,
- Solve for
From (1) and (2):
Now use (1) and (3): Since , equation (1) gives Also from (3), So, Hence,
- Find the points and
At ,
At ,
- Compute the length
Therefore,
- Check with options
The length of the segment is So the correct option is B.
- Comparison with stored answer
Stored correct answer: B
Derived answer: B
They agree.
