Please solve RD Sharma class 12 chapter Straight Line in Space exercise 27.3 question 6 sub question (iv) maths textbook solution
Answer: The line intersect each other and the point of intersection is
Hint: Equate the coefficient of vector equation of line.
Given: Two equation of line.
Solution: The equation of the first line,
So, the co-ordinates of a general point on this line are
The equation of the second line,
So, the co-ordinates of a general point on this line are (
If the lines intersect, then they have a common point for some value of λ and μ
We have,
Putting the value of μ from equation (ii) to (i), we get
Now putting the value of λ in equation (ii), we get
As we can see by putting the value of λ and μ in equation (iii), that it satisfy the equation
Check,
Hence intersection point exists or line of intersects.
Thus, point of intersection
