Question

Find the angle between the lines whose direction cosines are given by the equations:
$2l + 2m - n = 0, mn + ln + lm = 0$

✓

Answer

The given equation are,
$2l + 2m - n = 0 .....(1)$
$mn + ln + lm = 0 .....(2)$
From $(1),$ We get $n = 2l + 2m.$
Putting $n = 2l + 2m$ in $(2),$ We get
$m(2l + 2m) + l(2l + 2m) + lm = 0$
$2lm + 2m^2 + 2l^2 + 2ml + lm = 0$
$2ml^2 + 5lm + 2l^2 = 0$
$2m^2 + 4lm + lm + 2l^2 = 0$
$(2m + l) (m + 2l) = 0$
$\Rightarrow\text{m}=-\frac{1}{2}$ or $\text{m}=-2\text{l}$
By putting $\text{m}=-\frac{\text{l}}{2}$ in $(1)$ we get $n = l$
By putting $m = 2l $ in $(i)$ we get $n = -2l$
So, vector parallel to these lines are
$\vec{\text{a}}=\hat{\text{i}}-\frac{1}{2}\hat{\text{j}}+\hat{\text{k}}$ and $\vec{\text{b}}=\hat{\text{i}}-2\hat{\text{j}}-2\hat{\text{k}}$ respectively.
If $\theta$ is the angle between the lines, then $\theta$ is also the angle between $\vec{\text{a}}$ and $\vec{\text{b}}$
then,
$\cos\theta=\frac{\vec{\text{a}}\vec{\text{b}}}{\big|\vec{\text{a}}\big|\big|\vec{\text{b}}\big|}$
$=\frac{1+1-2}{\sqrt{1+\frac{1}{4}+1}\sqrt{1+4+9}}=0$
$\theta=\cos^{-1}(0)=\frac{\pi}{2}$.

Assume that the chances of a patient having a heart attack is $40\%.$ Assuming that a meditation and yoga course reduces the risk of heart attack by $30\%$ and prescription of certain drug reduces its chance by $25\%.$ At a time a patient can choose any one of the two options with equal probabilities. It is given that after going through one of the two options, the patient selected at random suffers a heart attack. Find the probability that the patient followed a course of meditation and yoga. Interpret the result and state which of the above stated methods is more beneficial for the patient.
