The lines x 1 = y 2 = z 3 and x-1 -2 = y-2 -4 = z-3 -6 are: - Vidyadip

MCQ

The lines $\frac{\text{x}}{1}=\frac{\text{y}}{2}=\frac{\text{z}}{3}$ and $\frac{\text{x}-1}{-2}=\frac{\text{y}-2}{-4}=\frac{\text{z}-3}{-6}$ are:

✓
Coinicident.
B
Skew.
C
Intersecting.
D
Parallel.

✓

Answer

Correct option: A.

Coinicident.

The equation of the given lines are
$\frac{\text{x}}{1}=\frac{\text{y}}{2}=\frac{\text{z}}{3}\dots(1)$
$\frac{\text{x}-1}{-2}=\frac{\text{y}-2}{-4}=\frac{\text{z}-3}{-6}$
$=\frac{\text{x}-1}{1}=\frac{\text{y}-2}{2}=\frac{\text{z}-3}{3}\dots(2)$
Thus, the two lines are parallel to the vector $\vec{\text{b}}=\hat{\text{i}}+2\hat{\text{j}}+3\hat{\text{k}}$ and pass through the points $(0, 0, 0)$ and $(1, 2, 3).$
Now,
$\big(\vec{\text{a}}_2-\vec{\text{a}}_1\big)\times\vec{\text{b}}=\big(\hat{\text{i}}+2\hat{\text{j}}+3\hat{\text{k}}\big)\times\big(\hat{\text{i}}+2\hat{\text{j}}+3\hat{\text{k}}\big)$
$=\vec{0}$
$\big[\because\vec{\text{a}}\times\vec{\text{a}}=\vec{0}\big]$
