If the line joining \(A(4,1,2)\) and \(B(0, k, 1)\) is perpendicular to the line joining \(C(-2,1,1)\) and \(D(4,2,5)\), then the value of \(k\) is equal to

  1. A \(31\)
  2. B \(-29\)
  3. C \(-31\)
  4. D \(29\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(29\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Since, we know that the direction ratio of line joining points \(\left(x_1, y_1, z_1\right)\) and \(\left(x_2, y_2, z_2\right)\) is \( \) Now, \(A=(4,1,2), B=(0, k, 1)\) \(\therefore\) Direction ratio of line \(A B= \) Let \(a_1=-4, b_1=k-1, c_1=-1\) \(C=(-2,1,1), D=(4,2,5)\)…
