Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\frac{1}{\sqrt{6}}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Line passing through \(2 \hat{\mathbf{i}}+\hat{\mathbf{j}}\) and parallel to \(\hat{\mathbf{i}}+5 \hat{\mathbf{j}}+2 \hat{\mathbf{k}}\) is \( \frac{x-2}{1}=\frac{y-1}{5}=\frac{z}{2}=t \) (Let) Any point taken on the given straight line will be \(P=(t+2,5 t+1,2 t)\) Let \(P\) is…
