Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\bar{r}=(2 \hat{i}-\hat{j}+\hat{k})+\lambda(-2 \hat{i}+2 \hat{j}-\hat{k})\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Let \(\bar{b}=\hat{i}+2 \hat{j}+2 \hat{k}, \quad \bar{c}=-\hat{i}+4 \hat{j}+\hat{k}\)
\(\Rightarrow \overline{\mathrm{c}}-\overline{\mathrm{b}}=-2 \hat{\mathrm{i}}+2 \hat{\mathrm{j}}-\hat{\mathrm{k}}\)
The equation of the line passing through \(2 \hat{i}-\hat{j}+\hat{k}\) and parallel to \(-2 \hat{i}+2 \hat{j}-\hat{k}\) is
\(\overline{\mathrm{r}}=(2 \hat{\mathrm{i}}-\hat{\mathrm{j}}+\hat{\mathrm{k}})+\lambda(-2 \hat{\mathrm{i}}+2 \hat{\mathrm{j}}-\hat{\mathrm{k}})\)
