Points \(P\) and \(Q\) are given by \(\overline{O P}=\bar{i}-\bar{j}-\bar{k}\) and \(\overline{O Q}=-\bar{i}+\bar{j}+\bar{k}\). A line along the vector \(\bar{a}=\bar{i}+\bar{j}\) passes through the point \(P\) and another line along the vector \(\bar{b}=\bar{j}-\bar{k}\) passes through the point \(Q\). If a line along the vector \(\bar{c}=\bar{i}-\bar{j}+\bar{k}\) intersects both the lines along the vectors \(\bar{a}\) and \(\bar{b}\) at \(L\) and \(M\) respectively, then \(\overline{P M}=\)

  1. A \(\bar{i}-\bar{j}+2 \bar{k}\)
  2. B \(4 \bar{i}+4 \bar{j}\)
  3. C \(-2 \bar{i}+10 \bar{j}-6 \bar{k}\)
  4. D \(3 \bar{i}-2 \bar{j}+\bar{k}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(-2 \bar{i}+10 \bar{j}-6 \bar{k}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( \overline{OL} = \overline{OP} + \lambda \bar{a} = (\bar{i}-\bar{j}-\bar{k}) + \lambda (\bar{i}+\bar{j}) \) \( \overline{OM} = \overline{OQ} + \mu \bar{b} = (-\bar{i}+\bar{j}+\bar{k}) + \mu (\bar{j}-\bar{k}) \) \( \overline{OM} - \overline{OL} = k \bar{c} \)…
