Ange between two lines in terms of direction cosines and direction ratios -

(i)    if two lines are parallel then

        l_{1}=l_{2}, m_{1}=m_{2}, n_{1}=n_{2} or

        \frac{a_{1}}{a_{2}}=\frac{b_{1}}{b_{2}}=\frac{c_{1}}{c_{2}}

(ii)     if two lines are perpendicular then

        l_{1}l_{2}+m_{1}m_{2}+n_{1}n_{2}= 0 or

        a_{1}a_{2}+b_{1}b_{2}+c_{1}c_{2}= 0
