Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\dfrac{3}{2}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The first line is given by \(\dfrac{x-1}{3} = \dfrac{y}{1} = \dfrac{z+2}{2}\). The direction vector of this line is \(\vec{v_1} = 3\hat{i} + 1\hat{j} + 2\hat{k}\). The second line is given by \(\dfrac{3x-1}{2b} = \dfrac{y-3}{-1} = \dfrac{z-1}{a}\). Rewriting this in standard…
