Answers (1)

Answer: Correct answer is A.

Hint: Use vector cross product.

Given: \frac{x}{1}=\frac{y}{2}=\frac{z}{3} \text { and } \frac{x-1}{-2}=\frac{y-2}{-4}=\frac{z-3}{-6}

Solution: The equations of the given lines are

\Rightarrow \frac{x}{1}=\frac{y}{2}=\frac{z}{3}                ..........(1)

Direction ratios are 1,2,3

\begin{aligned} &\frac{x-1}{-2}=\frac{y-2}{-4}=\frac{z-3}{-6} \\\\ &\Rightarrow \frac{x-1}{1}=\frac{y-2}{2}=\frac{z-3}{3} \end{aligned}    ............(2)

Direction ratios are 1,2,3

Since, direction ratios of the two lines are equal so, the given lines are parallel.

So, the correct option is (a) parallel.
