If the direction ratios of two lines \(L_1\) and \(L_2\) are given by \((1,-2,2)\) and \((-2,3,-6)\) respectively, then the direction ratios of the line which is perpendicular to the lines \(\mathrm{L}_1\) and \(\mathrm{L}_2\) are

  1. A \((1,-2,3)\)
  2. B \((-2,3,5)\)
  3. C \((6,2,-1)\)
  4. D \((2,-1,3)\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \((6,2,-1)\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Let \(\vec{d_1} = (1, -2, 2)\) and \(\vec{d_2} = (-2, 3, -6)\). \(\vec{d_1} \times \vec{d_2} = \begin{vmatrix} \mathbf{i} & \mathbf{j} & \mathbf{k} \\ 1 & -2 & 2 \\ -2 & 3 & -6 \end{vmatrix}\)…
