Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) 50

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The line \(L_1\) is given by \(\dfrac{x-5}{\alpha} = \dfrac{y+2}{-5} = \dfrac{z + 24/5}{\beta}\). The direction vector of \(L_1\) is \(\vec{v_1} = \alpha \hat{i} - 5 \hat{j} + \beta \hat{k}\). The line \(L_2\) is given by \(x=z\) and \(y=0\). This can be written as…
