If \(\vec{a}=\hat{i}-\hat{j}+3 \hat{k}, \hat{c}=-\hat{k}\) are position vectors of two points and \(\vec{b}=2 \hat{i}-\hat{j}+\lambda \hat{k}, \hat{d}=\hat{i}+2 \hat{j}-\hat{k}\) are two vectors, then the lines \(\vec{r}=\vec{a}+t \vec{b}, \vec{r}=\vec{c}+s \vec{d}\) are

  1. A skew line when \(\lambda=\frac{19}{3}\)
  2. B coplanar \(\forall \lambda \in \mathbf{R}\)
  3. C skew lines when \(\lambda \neq \frac{19}{3}\)
  4. D coplanar when \(\lambda \neq \frac{19}{3}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) skew lines when \(\lambda \neq \frac{19}{3}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\begin{aligned} & \vec{a}=\hat{i}-\hat{j}+3 \hat{k} \\ \vec{b}= & 2 \hat{i}-\hat{j}+\lambda \hat{k} \\ \vec{c}= & -\hat{k} \text { and } \vec{d}=\hat{i}+2 \hat{j}-\hat{k}\end{aligned}\) The lines \(\vec{r}=\vec{a}+t \vec{b}, \vec{r}=\vec{c}+s \vec{d}\) are coplanar if…
