If the line \(\frac{x-1}{2}=\frac{y+1}{3}=\frac{z-1}{4}\) and \(\frac{x-3}{1}=\frac{y-\mathrm{k}}{2}=\frac{z}{1}\) intersect; then the value of k is

  1. A \(\frac{3}{2}\)
  2. B \(\frac{9}{2}\)
  3. C \(-\frac{2}{9}\)
  4. D \(-\frac{3}{2}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\frac{9}{2}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\begin{aligned} & \therefore \quad\left|\begin{array}{ccc}x_2-x_1 & y_2-y_1 & z_2-z_1 \\ a_1 & b_1 & c_1 \\ a_2 & b_2 & c_2\end{array}\right|=0 \\ & \therefore \quad\left|\begin{array}{ccc}3-1 & k+1 & 0-1 \\ 2 & 3 & 4 \\ 1 & 2 & 1\end{array}\right|=0 \\ & \therefore \quad\left|\begin{array}{ccc}2 & \mathrm{k}+1 & -1 \\ 2 & 3 & 4 \\ 1 & 2 & 1\end{array}\right|=0 \\ & \therefore \quad \mathrm{k}=\frac{9}{2}\end{aligned}\)
