Find the value of p such that the lines \(\frac{x+11}{4}=\frac{y+3}{-2}=\frac{z-3}{4} \,and \,\frac{x-3}{p}=\frac{y+12}{2}=\frac{z-3}{-12}\) are at right angles to each other.(a) p=11(b) p=12(c) p=13(d) p=4The question was asked during an interview.I'm obligated to ask this question of Three Dimensional Geometry in chapter Three Dimensional Geometry of Mathematics – Class 12

Answer»

The CORRECT choice is (c) p=13

To EXPLAIN: We know that, if TWO lines are perpendicular to each other then,

\(a_1 a_2+b_1 b_2+c_1 c_2=0\)

i.e.4(p)+(-2)2+4(-12)=0

4p-4-48=0

4p=52

p=\(\FRAC{52}{4}\)=13.
