Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\frac{10}{3 \sqrt{3}}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

We have, \(\begin{aligned} & L: \mathbf{r}=2 \hat{\mathbf{i}}-2 \hat{\mathbf{j}}+3 \hat{\mathbf{k}}+\lambda(\hat{\mathbf{i}}-\hat{\mathbf{j}}+4 \hat{\mathbf{k}}) \\ & P: \mathbf{r} \cdot(\hat{\mathbf{i}}+5 \hat{\mathbf{j}}+\hat{\mathbf{k}})=5 \end{aligned}\) \(\quad\) Now,…
