Answer» Correct Answer - A Given lines can be rewritten as `(x-1)/(-3)=(y-2)/(2alpha)=(z-3)/(2)` and `(x-1)/(3alpha)=(y-1)/(1)=(z-6)/(-5)` `therefore` The direction ratio of given lines are `(-3,2,alpha,2) and (3alpha,1,-5)` Since, lines are perependicular `therefore a_(1)a_(2)=b_(1)b_(2)+c_(1)c_(2)=0` `Rightarrow (-3)(3alpha)+2alpha(1)+2(-5)=0` `Rightarrow -9alpha+2alpha-10=0` `Rightarrow alpha=-10/7` |
