MCQ
Let $A \equiv  (\lambda  + 2, 1 - 2\lambda , \lambda  + 2)$ and $B \equiv  (2k + 1, k, k +1)$ and $ \lambda , k  \in  R.$ Then minimum distance between $A$ and $B$ is -
  • A
    $0$
  • B
    $\frac{1}{{\sqrt {35} }}$
  • C
    $\frac{{\sqrt 3 }}{{\sqrt {35} }}$
  • $\frac{3}{{\sqrt {35} }}$

Answer

Correct option: D.
$\frac{3}{{\sqrt {35} }}$
d
$\overrightarrow{\mathrm{r}}=(-2,-1,-2)+\lambda(1,-2,1)$

$\overrightarrow{\mathrm{r}}=(-1,0,-1)+\mathrm{k}(2,1,1)$

${\rm{S}}.{\rm{D}} = \left| {\frac{{(\hat i + \hat j + \hat k) \cdot (\hat i - 2\hat j + \hat k) \times (2\hat i + \hat j + \hat k)}}{{|(\hat i - 2\hat j + \hat k) \times (2\hat i + \hat j + \hat k)|}}} \right| = \frac{3}{{\sqrt {35} }}$
