If lines \(\frac{x+5}{5 \lambda+2}=\frac{4-2 y}{10}=\frac{1-3 z}{-3}\) and \(\frac{x-2}{1}=\frac{1+2 y}{4 \lambda}=\frac{2+z}{3}\) are perpendicular, then value of ' \(\lambda\) ' is

  1. A \(-1\)
  2. B 1
  3. C 2
  4. D \(-2\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 1

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Direction ratios of the first line \(\vec{d_1}\) are \((5 \lambda+2, -5, 1)\). Direction ratios of the second line \(\vec{d_2}\) are \((1, 2 \lambda, 3)\). For perpendicular lines, \(\vec{d_1} \cdot \vec{d_2} = 0\). \((5 \lambda+2)(1) + (-5)(2 \lambda) + (1)(3) = 0\)…
