Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) 25

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\[ \begin{aligned} & \text { (a) } A(7, p, 2), B(q,-2,5) \\ & C(2,-3,5), D(-6,-15,11) \end{aligned} \] Direction ratios of \(A B\) is given as, \[ \begin{aligned} & q-7,-2-p, 5-2 \\ & \Rightarrow a_1=q-7, b_1=-2-p, c_1=3 \end{aligned} \] Direction ratios of \(C D\) is given as,…
