Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) None of these

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Let the first line be \(\dfrac{x-1}{1} = \dfrac{y-1}{2} = \dfrac{z-2}{3} = \lambda\). Then any point on the first line is \((1+\lambda, 1+2\lambda, 2+3\lambda)\). Let the second line be \(\dfrac{x-5}{2} = \dfrac{y-2}{1} = \dfrac{z}{1} = \mu\). Then any point on the second line…
